Leaves Now Rustle

Leaves now rustle beneath my feet As autumn gusts and blows, No vestige of summer's heat How I wished it though. As autumn gusts and blows All is bare and stark. Not a leaf upon a branch, No flowers in the park. All is bare and stark As winter comes a' calling. Soon to leave her signature, When snowflakes start a' falling. As winter comes a' calling, No vestige of summer's heat. Autumn's remnants fell to earth, Leaves now rustle beneath my feet. Entry for LATE OCTOBER PREMIERE CONTEST any theme Any form,max of 25 lines - Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand 22/10/2017. Placed 2nd.
