In multiples of 3
they come and weave
between the falling rain

reds roam north, yellows
float and blues caress
the ailing green

one strays east, taps my
face, and wakes me
to this golden day

umbrella's tossed
my arms raise up
to touch the magic
a leaf can bring

Scratching my head on this one. Sometimes I go completely blank and are unable to decipher the meaning of poetry. This is one of those times. Sorry Emma.

that's okay. I kind of left it without any
'clues', more open to suggestion if someone finds something in it.
thanks for stopping by though, always appreciate   the read.

Exquisite as always, Emma Rose.  Although Autumn here is different, I totally relate in my soul, to tossing an umbrella aside to feel leaves rich with colour and dance and their own histories, blowing in my face and yes, I, too, would throw up my arms in glorious celebration of the moment.  This poem is the epitome of why I never miss reading any EmmaRose poem I see.  Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

Falling leaves!
I love the image!
Autumn would seem gray and bleak if only there were no coloured leaves and umbrellas )

colorful nod to the mix of beauty and lament of Autumn passing ...
