AUTUMN  TREES~~

Swoosh----------
the lightly cool yet ever warm breeze

Dancing are the...
Aspen
       Baldcypress
Black Tupelo
       Japanese Maple
Red Maple
       Sassafras
 Sourwood
       Sugar Maple
Sweetgum
autumn trees;

leaves blowing in t he wind;

colors so brilliant;
seems to pollinate my eyes;

I rub them so hard,
because of my allergies;

autumn trees;

sprinkling drops of microscopic spores;
ever so pungent I can't believe so..

As I sneeze catching a whip of these;
Autumn trees, brightly colored leaves;
The blade as the wind blows fans me;
The leaf's petiole it's leafstalk connects to the branch tree;
autumn trees;
leaves blowing in t he wind;

colors so brilliant;
seems to pollinate my eyes;
sprinkling drops of microscopic spores;
ever so pungent I can't believe so..

As I sneeze catching a whip of these; 
leaves blowing in t he wind;
autumn trees;
