"fall Leaves In Summer"

A cool fall afternoon I so much miss...
Sitting on my steps watching the leaves kiss..
They would swirl around on my driveway without
any direction..
Yet they would all end up in the same corner ,
 as if someone yelled action..
When they were on there own, they were words
without meaning...
But all together now they read as a book without
seeing...
Their colors  unmatched as no two are the same..
Shapes and sizes bring together an all new game..
As summer approaches and we bask by the beach..
I am happy to see the fall is close to my reach..

You even see passionate love in the leaves too. Nice transition of seasons.

Very nice one, MIchael. Yes, summer actually goes until the middle of September when those leaves are starting to fall! LUv, Andrea

Lovely tribute to the beauty of autumn, it's my favourite season too. Just a couple of edits - 'there colors' should be 'their colours' , 'bask by (he) the beach'. Enjoyed the read :)
