The leaves are falling from the trees,
they lie scattered on the ground.
Like a puzzle that has fell apart,
though quietly, without sound.
It makes me sad to see them,
so helplessly lying there.
The season for them is over, and
their tree is left empty and bare.
A question forms in my mind.
Is it possible trees get cold?
But I suppose that they adapt,
when winter assumes its role.
My comfort comes from the knowledge,
of seasons they've already endured.
Knowing the leaves will return in the spring,
brings a smile and I am reassured.

This is lovely, Kitty...I hope the leaves are falling for all of the right reasons...[and I only say this because we are in the midst of a drought, and it will not be a glorious fall...]

Thanks Sunshine! Fall is my very favorite time of year and it always makes me 'kinda'
sad..;-(
We have had rain,rain,and more rain, and
that can get as frustrating as a drought..
But hey...Chins up...
we have winter to look forward to..;-)

Kitty~
So lovely are the colors of fall ...
you've let me envision the beauty.

I always thought it peculiar that
trees denude in the winter ...
even here in Florida there are some
that strip down to the bare nuthin's !

Thanks for sharing your look at fall.

Kitty**
While you face the winter, I face the summer as the world turns. All's right with the world as it is with your poem. Excellently done.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. I love the thought of the trees getting cold. I had never thought of that.
What a great thought, thank you!

Irish Rose...Oooops!
Thank you..I 'corrented' the 'seanons'...;-)
GOSH, I HATE to misspell a word and I have gotten so I do it all the time..
Maybe the age has something to do with it,
Ya know ?? Time is short and in a hurry to say all I have to say..;-)
