L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Dancing In the Street

Leaves are dancing in the street
Skittering with the autumn breeze
Something about this is very sweet
Leaves are dancing in the street,
Raking them, though, is not so neat
The limbs are now bare on the trees
Leaves are dancing in the street
Skittering with the autumn breeze.

Michael Tor September 30, 2022 at 10:45 AM They are dancing mother nature has waved her wand and they are spiraling down doing their dance. Lovely images conveyed my friend. Thanks for sharing. Michael Tor September 30, 2022 at 2:51 PM We are surrounded by trees. We start as soon as they start falling. So it is not too bad. L Milton Hankins September 30, 2022 at 11:12 AM Thank you, Michael. Hope you don't have too much raking to do.

Jim Slaughter September 30, 2022 at 10:02 AM Rather like those "whirling dervish" guys from Turkey, I believe. I love the imagery here, L M. L Milton Hankins September 30, 2022 at 11:13 AM Thanks, Jim. Yes, indeed. I didn't think of them.

Caren Krutsinger September 30, 2022 at 9:55 AM "leaves are dancing in the street" - we have living proof because we are having our driveway re blacktopped, and we cannot keep the leaves off! L Milton Hankins September 30, 2022 at 11:13 AM It will be hard to do this time of the year. They are fluttering down all around me.

Sara Kendrick September 30, 2022 at 9:33 AM We've got those leaves dances and tree limb shaking but no rain. Great work in this Triolet. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara L Milton Hankins September 30, 2022 at 11:14 AM You're most welcome, Sara. Thanks for your visit and your comment on my poem.

Jeff Kyser September 30, 2022 at 9:01 AM Most of the trees here are still quite green, but I guess we're a good bit south of you. A lovely time of year, one of my favorites! Enjoyed, Milt. L Milton Hankins September 30, 2022 at 11:14 AM I love the colors, but that's about it. I am a warm weather nut! I can always take off clothes in the summer, but I can't find enough to put on in the winter. I'm always cold!
