Autumn Leaves
A Zen Thing . OffTopic . QuotesWind blows
and fills the skies
with gold and yellow
butterflies
which flit to earth
with skips and hops
to dance and twirl
like spinning tops.
The last one dips
in a puddle to float
like a single scarlet
sailing boat.

I am impressed by your poetic prose!
Yes as much as I dread the coming cold there are many things to look forward to as the kids make new discoveries and remind us how amazing and fun the season can be.
I love the thought of a cool autumn breeze, watching the leaves falling from the trees.
that is until they reach the ground,
the yard work will soon abound,
but I do not fret as soon the sounds of laughter will be found,
as children come to play in the piles of leaves.
