John Freeman Poet Couplet

Leaves

Leaves are beauty of the Master’s touch
…beds of leaves for homes of squirrels and such

Bunched by opossum in the hollow of an old oak  log
…arranged in a thicket by a caring mother hog

They wave to a lonesome soul in the summer breeze
…nature’s devise of cozy blanket in winter’s freeze

And you ask me if I love leaves and trees
…provides great shades for summer’s picnics, ”Leaves”

Leaves have butterfly flight, floating gracefully about
…catching sun’s rays bobbing multi colored  with clout

Golden, russet and burnt orange of autumn equinox 
…Beautiful LEAVES!, Thank God for nature’s clocks.

In Honor of Carol Brown
