Scented Leaves

wind whistles its cutting breath 

rudely intrudes through  roof eaves
 
trees trembling at its gruff voice

scent of fallen leaves lost in fear

Hi Eve, You described it very well. One does fear the inevitable when it's windy outside. Good content and imagery. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great evening:-) Alexis

Wind is rude sometimes specially in India in Summer. I can relate fallen leaves to shaky mud houses. Great imagery Eve.Love.

It is a pity that scented leaves fall prey to the scent of fear, Eve! Wind can be such a violent master! Hugs // paul

Nice Job Eve. The wind is not a nice entity in the winter time. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest

That's the way it has been around here the past two days, cold and gusty and making us fearful that a tree make come through the roof. Nicely expressed Eve, you captured the feeling perfectly.
