Ballerina’s dance
cascading leaves pirouette
golden showers shine

crisp air lifts gold leaf
‘round my head like a giggle
gently lays it down

dance ballerina
little ballerina leaf
and usher Fall in

I feel as if I am sitting on the ground under this ballerina leaf and waiting to catch her before she lands on the ground. Wonderful write my friend.
