The Autumn Leaves

I love the autumn season when the leaves all start to turn 
And the smell of wood that fills the air as woodstoves start to burn 

The wind throughout the maples makes a peaceful rustling sound 
And liberates the tired leaves so they can fall to ground
                                                      
The fallen leaves in vibrant hues of yellow, brown and red
Create a pretty cover like a quilt upon a bed

The trees are all quite bare now and will sleep through winter snow
Until the Spring returns again and new growth starts to show

Autumn is my favorite season, though I live in Hawaii and do not get to enjoy it anymore. I enjoyed your rustic lovely poetic tribute to its beauty. Aloha Connie

You bring us full circle to spring's new beginnings. The fall, though, is refreshing in its cooler nights, + newly colored trees. An enjoyable verse. Best wishes, Brian
