Twirling, Swirling In a Dance

Pine needles and dead leaves
twirling, swirling in a dance.
Falling as fast as snowflakes now.
This ballet, their last chance.

To the ground, a carpet forms.
Dead they are as the summer past.
Twirling, swirling on their journey
in the Autumn's windy blast.

Yellow, red and green the leaves
blowing in the windy sky
to their final resting place
'neath the trees where they now lie.

Dancing trees wave their arms
and set their leaves and needles free.
Twirling , swirling in the wind
in glorious dance for all to see.

Being from Canada, you must have seen those seeds from maple trees as they go twirling and swirling to the ground. It appears as if they have a wing-like appendage that facilitates their journey to the fertile soil below. Good rhyming and descriptiveness here Francine.

Here is a delightful one I had not seen before. Great rhythm too! I think all your recent ones I have already enjoyed. I was very happy to see how much you liked my little poem, Francine. Thanks again and have a wonderful new year.

dancing in the fallen leaves, sighs the wind swirling grieves, for yesteryear when they were green, but fallen like our soldiers seem, when leaves get blown away:(
