Laura Leiser Poet Free verse

October

As fall turns, chill leans in
gently pressing warmth away
aging leaves reach a riotous peak
punching pigments everywhere. 

Savory smells linger in comfort 
busy stoves and fireplaces are lit
little ones dream of costumes
orange and black hues abound 
until crimson leaves 
break free.
