Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Fall Transformation

Days of fall just before winter arrives
As daylight hours slowly fade
Twilight peeks through the trees
Leaves hang tangled in branches
creating ghost like images
Silhouettes and shadows grow
 creating new dimensions 
Gentle rustling of the midnight wind
Creates mystical illusions
The full moon hangs in the sky
Surveying earths landscape far below
Stars begin to make an appearance
Twinkling merrily in the darkened skies
Clouds begin to play hide and seek
As they give chase across the open sky
Undaunted, wild and free
Step by step fall transforms
Welcoming in a new season.

Jim Rainey November 17, 2015 at 5:48 AM "Twilight descends over trees" Twilight does not descend "over" trees. Clouds may float "over" trees. It may sound poetic, but, in nature, it does not happen that way. You could say "descends through" trees, but, that doesn't happen either. A hot air balloon may descend over mountains. But, twilight is an appearance. We don't say, "Sunlight ascends" and we don't say "Twilight descends."
