Nature of Autumn

few colors, but green
a Fall stand out

spotty, the Southern reds
beautifully shaped

teeny, not trite
the fallen

up North, pleased
by ample leaves

the tumbler of hues
crimson and gold

over my shoes
as if snow

trees on both sides
of the streets, a treat

still, I know
my yard will overflow

raring to be raked
slurried by depths

piled on tarps
pulled down slopes

agonized over
forgotten the sparkle

the jumping pile
of a cheering child

I love poems about seasons and keeping memory of childhood joy. Yay for grandchildren who take us there too. Thanks for reading and commenting on my poems. I like the conversation and finding out what connects. J :)

This is cute and has a happy ending. The trees provide joy for a child. I like the happiness and feel of an Autumn day.

Hello Kim, Autumn is a beautiful season. the colors are beautiful. Yet once the leaves fall to the ground we know we must rake them into piles then bring them to the dump. Hugs. /Darlene/
