Those Dancing Leaves

The chill of early autumn casts A kaleidoscope of color upon A plethora of dangling leaves As they shimmy and shake about Mother Nature’s frosty breath Hastens their departure from their lofty heights The brassy winds of autumn will be here soon Bursting forth with an exuberant breathy gusto Prompting the leaves to whirl and spin around Dancing merrily along the ground Reminds this creaky old observer Of a gleeful group of school girls Swirling in their colorful gowns Happily frolicking and jumping about Joyfully doing their happy dance
