Constance La France Poet Free verse

Welcome Autumn

Welcome autumn with your beautiful
          colors and cool breezes ...
How I love you !
    And all those swirling  and drifting burnt orange
red, and gold leaves tumbling  down . . .
            some tattered and torn
            some perfect and deep veined.
Time to lay down your golden gowns, dear trees !
      And I,
          must begin gathering a collection
to press within pages of my many old books.
                        Oh delight,
                to open a book on a cold winter day
                           and have a beautiful leaf
             fall out . . .
