On a Crisp Autumn Evening

The susurrus breeze 
of spring’s ingénue trees 
now rasps and wheezes,
rustling sparse leaves as
the trees, now crones,
rest brittle bones,
primed for winter’s coming.

GARY, it's an honor having your poem on my winning list. Congratulations on your win in my Autumn Night's contest. A blessing it is to be back. I love nothing more than a free feeling of falling leaves drifting away at night. Thank you for the supporting one of my many soup contest. Stop by my latest blog "Together Alone" if you'd like. No problem if you don't have time. Just take this time and enjoy your win... LOVE LINDA
