Waning With Rhythm

waning with rhythm 
native rainstick October -
gutters clogged with leaves

not all pretty things disclosed
hues hide from wandering eyes

We describe and praise the beauty of autumn leaves, and yet many of them end up in the gutter, hidden and forgotten! ~ Regards // paul

"gutters clogged with leaves" - such a testament to October, yet rarely thrown in a poem. Well done Kim.
