Eve Roper Poet Ottava rima

Overflowing With Life

Fragments of moonlight illuminated 
the lighthearted waves of fluttering leaves,
as the breeze cradled them in its sainted
web it was spinning round with shifting weaves.
With unspoken disagreement weighted 
down by possessive boughs on autumn's eves.

Like a thief the wind was overflowing 
with brown leaves turning swiftly departing
