Leaves Talking

leaves talking like friends as they free fall a spiritual wind kisses them red and squirrels scurry under them collecting acorns, dusting an earthen shelf. leaves softly land and are raked into a great gathering huddled in the autumn air leaves talking about life and death 2nd place winner Contest: Leaves Talking 9/15/2016

Kim, it took me a moment to catch the shape(form) of the presentation. But once I did I just drifted through it and nestled in the leaf pile at the bottom. Nicely done. Particularly enjoyed the scurrying squirrels ....dusting.... Thanks for participating in the contest.

I like that little pile all tidied up at the bottom. Your formatting was clever and the phrasing was fitting. I like the loose, flowing feel, much like those autumn leaves looming in the trees above my yard. I wish they'd fall into nice little piles. Haha, thanks for sharing this one. -G
