Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Falling Leaves

Autumn leaves fall 
Dancing in the breeze
Carpeting the ground
Underneath our feet
Nature’s glory does enthrall
Skeleton like trees
Rooted to the ground
Spring’s cycle will repeat
Trees again will be complete

Jan Allison
23rd October 2014

Faye Gibson October 24, 2014 at 7:06 PM I love the cycle of nature, Jan. This is beautiful...in my home state we have stunning fall color. I find winter a little tedious any more; that's why we have escaped to Florida.

Timothy Hicks October 24, 2014 at 11:40 AM My favorite part was the skeleton like trees rooted to the ground. It's an expression that I can safely say I've never heard before. It gives me this odd image that trees are just like people except they stand firmly in place... weird thought, I know. Jan Allison October 24, 2014 at 12:16 PM It came out of my mind so it's bound to be weird lol:-) thanks for the great comment:-) Hugs jan xx

Emeka Offor October 24, 2014 at 10:24 AM Again and yet again, the cycle continues. The seasons come and go. We remain part of it. Nice work Jan Allison October 24, 2014 at 10:25 AM Thank you so much for the lovely comment Emeka:-) hugs Jan xx

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty October 24, 2014 at 6:06 AM The master painter plays with brush and canvas. But she is not whimsical. She is a maestro and completes her composition touching all notes methodically. Nature. Graceful poem. very very graceful. Love Jan!....RAJATc Jan Allison October 24, 2014 at 7:34 AM Thank you for that charming comment Rajat:-) Hugs jan xx

Connie Marcum Wong October 24, 2014 at 12:11 AM Returns me to a rendezvous at a tree filled park in my youth. Laying on the leaves and watching them fall while wrapped in warm arms. Nice one Jan! Jan Allison October 24, 2014 at 2:58 AM Thanks so much for the lovely comment Connie:-) Hugs Jan xxx
