October Noon

Ah the riotous winds in action
on this late October noon,
rustling leaves still cling in trees
still dangling on, but soon

to leave, and pardon the pun
as the leaves dance in the sun,
the rustle is loud upon the street,
a sonata of sound, can’t be beat.

Blow wind blow, leaves circling
as an invisible hand is thus stirring
the dried surplus of summer’s day,
all the colors have come in play.

Hang on a bit tighter, all fall leaves
for one more weekend I need reprieve
of office walls that bide my soul
'til I walk in majesty, come again whole.

Karilea~
I found that I rather liked this~

Especially this -

'Blow wind blow, leaves circling
as an invisible hand is thus stirring
the dried surplus of summer’s day,

fascinating...yeah, save a few autumn leaves from slumbering crumble, need some for Thanksgiving harvest, right!?!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

The end of summer comes way too soon, doesn't it, Karilea? I like this plea for just one more day.

Oh so lovely Karilea..
The leaves here have barely started to turn..
late this year in changing..
perhaps so we can hold onto thoughts of summer a little longer....
yes, perhaps.

The snow begins to fly, and above the roofs, the smoke begins to billow.

Thank you.

Karilea... you have captured my thoughts perfectly here...
Autumn has been late in arriving this year, and I was really sure that because of the hot dry summer, we would have a bleak show of color... but I have been most pleasantly surprised and Kalamazoo... is only now, at peak... probably a couple of weeks late, but the long slow autumn, has afforded us more opportunity to view the beauty...
Your poem is such a perfect description...

This is lovely...and the leaves are just changing here...I love autumn for so many reasons, one of them is the poems like this one.

Karilea this is just beautiful. I love the season of autumn, when all the leaves start turning colors.
