David Mohn Poet Triolet

Late Autumn

My gaze seduced; a twirling leaf
    With winter’s whisper in its whirl
   Too near the fall departs – a thief
     My gaze seduced; a twirling leaf
       Bejeweled upon a frail motif
Till plundered plush by powdered pearl 
     My gaze seduced; a twirling leaf
    With winter’s whisper in its whirl
