Soft the falling leaves
a carpet of orange and gold
entice tiny feet.

Skip and dance and play
glowing eyed, grinning pumpkins
jack-o-lantern gleam.

Apple cider kiss
the wind makes scarecrows tremble
cornstalks shaking leaves.

Soft the falling leaves
days shorten to winters bliss
spring a memory.

so beautiful - I watched the leaves change from green to orange and yellow in about four days - I love this time of year

Paula darling heart sister, you always write so beautifully, and this is simply exquisite. The imagery is so clear I can almost smell the bonfire, and hear the children playing in the fallen leaves.

Truly outstanding writing darling one, I love this, utterly, utterly, utterly love it
  
Love and warm stuff

thank you

We don't actually have a fall, here.

We're just grateful for a breeze.

I think I'll have to go see the leaves change, myself, to truly understand.

Hugs lady.  Enjoyed the stroll through your eyes.
