Leafings

In November’s reign
Small dry sounds of leaves in fall
Season named so well

Crayon colors crunching sound
Someone is lighting a match

Sissie....a lovely leafing, but the match scared me...here in California, danger of fire is high still.

And a child smells the flames of Fall.

What a neat reminder of that unmistakeable odor.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

See now, Arizona isn't all it's cracked up to be. Unless, of course, you're up north! I like this I can smell the smoke from here.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

In a controlled situation, the burning of 'fall'en dead leaves, conjures up wonderful olefactory memories for me as a little girl watching my grandfather do his annual yard clean-up.

However, in a forest, matches bring about death and destruction.

Many thoughts went through my mind while reading your falling words.

Love & Sun Light,
Linda

I remember that smell,
The one that came after
"somebody lighting a match..."
To the leaf pile...

The blue and gray smoke, I still see;
My crossing eyes, reminded by this poem...

enjoyed

I like the quiet tension you leave us with -- that's the essence of poetry!
