Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

Swishing Leaves

Leaves fell like confetti, upon an autumn bride

Swirling in their multitudes, across the countryside.

Along the path I walked they lay, some were ankle deep

I took such childish pleasure, as I swished them with my feet.

The wind was fairly blowing, branches nearly bare

I pulled my collar around my ears, a chill was in the air.

Susan Ashley October 1, 2017 at 6:17 PM Oh what a beautifully delightful poem Gary that reminds me of the childhood pleasure of purposefully swishing through piles of leaves on my way home from school with my friend. We could never resist! Well done! :) Gary Smith October 1, 2017 at 6:19 PM Thank you Susan :)
