Joanna Daniel Poet Tetractys

Sweeping Fall

Red
Yellow
Leaves fall down
Sweep left, sweep right
Gather them in Autumn’s wicker baskets
Nature’s colourful treasures swirling down
Ground set afire
Rake in hand
Garden
Cleared

Sam Kauffman August 26, 2021 at 12:22 PM Wonderful Jo. Love the line "ground set afire." I also like the cadence of the words "sweep left, sweep right." I can hear the sound of rakes. Blessings to you. Best wishes for the contest.

L Milton Hankins August 25, 2021 at 9:27 AM You said it so well, so briefly, Jo. Good luck in the contest.

Victor Buhagiar August 25, 2021 at 1:19 AM I wrote three poems on another picture, but I must admit, yours is better than mine. Hugs.
