Falling Leaves

Fall is the most beautiful time of the year for me, with its blushing  
Apples and fruitful trees dressed in zesty rubious healthy leaves with       
Luminous fruit hanging off its stems, like galas, granny smiths, and fuji 
Leaves of multi colored sunburnt shades of yellow, gold and brown   
Inside the orchard, ladders, bushels, straw hats and farmer pant- grins  
No better place to be then underneath an Autumn tree when every    
Golden leaf shimmer-shimmies before swiveling down at  your feet    

Leaves that dance and shuffle-shake before landing in your hands     
Earthing to the ground covering you with giant leafy  dry crispy limbs   
Arrest the night, stop the moon, hold the stars, its time to listen to the       
Voices of the night, the falling leaves have their sorrowful story to tell 
Ease into their season with a quiet soul.  Help them say goodbye to the   
Summer. After all it is the season of Autumn,  a time for falling leaves.

This is so darn clever. I want to write a poem such as this so much. Your poem embraces everything wonderful and beautiful about fall, my favorite season. The imagery is wonderful. At times I can almost smell your poem as I read. I loved the sounds in your line that begins with "Golden leaf shimmer- shimmies....
