Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

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.

Robert Pettit January 11, 2012 at 11:54 PM 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.
