Leaves Are Leaving

From whitened trees, leaves are leaving
Releasing fall, color flutters
Upon the wind's icy mutters
With a ruby river weaving
Homage to a season's grieving

Dear Michelle, your use of color is striking in this beautiful and emotive autumn poem. Vivid imagery like “colors flutter” and “ruby river weaving” brings a lovely sense of rhythmic movement to the poetic page and to my imagination. I also love “leaves are leaving”! Your creative artistry shines my sweet friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
