Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Scented Leaves

~

We frolic through the scented leaves
aromas fill the air
Such beauty found as autumn weaves
these wondrous sights to share

Now wandering a winding path
while cooler breezes chase
For rosy cheeks the aftermath
is smiles on our face

With winter waiting in-between
we breathe the season’s spice
Of cinnamon and evergreen
and everything that’s nice

For here as maples line the way
with barren branch the view 
Through scented leaves I’ll run and play
this autumn day with you
