"The Song Of Leaves" dots

-------------------------------------------

Hiss, kiss, twirl and twist,
leaves falling from the tree!
Summer's over and now at last
they're loosened and they're free!

They praise the wind and sky
and pirouette quite free
they're graceful in their maiden flight
from their mother tree.

Sailing gently on the breeze,
swaying neath the sky.
They flutter gently, gracefully down,
landing with a sigh.

They touch each other on the ground,
or scatter with the breeze.
They speak in hushed and rustling tones,
gossiping about the trees.

Part of Autumn's grandeur,
played upon the breeze
is the brilliance of Fall's colors
and the whispered song of leaves.

  Oh, this IS certainly one of your very best! I loved this, you have captured, most brilliantly, the motion and action of falling leaves in autumn, and that, my friend, is no mean feat!!! I loved it!

  What a lovely ode to fall!
The fallen leaves are as much a part of the beauty and charm of autumn; their rustle and crunch are the soundtrack of the season!
Yet most often they are used as the symbols of death and loss. I love the way you've given the dead leaves joyful voices and gossipy natures!

Just one nit to pick, though:

Parts of Autumn's grandeur,
played upon the breeze
are the brilliance of Fall's colors
and the whispered song of leaves.

I really enjoyed this celebration of the season!
It also reminded me of my soak in the tub last night...but, that's another story!

Thanks for sharing your words here, Ron!

  This really brings back memories to me of camping trips. I've always loved the way leaves change since I read a book about a leaf who didn't want to fall from its tree. Beautifully captures the essence of the falling leaves. Wow!

  I like this a lot. Its a great contrast to what usually comes to mind with autumn. Instead of seasonal depression you are giving the leaves new life.
