They will build an altar
in their slow progression
to cradle both the young
and old

as windows watch
the tender yellows tumble down

leaf by leaf, with loosened berries
circles on the squares
a trilogy of scarlets
dance the rumba, court the concrete
off the stonefaced ground

the layered seasons
joining voices, enter morning,
sing the virgin's September song

Ahhh . . . This is just precious, Emma, and that is a word I seldom use, but it was appropriate in this case I believe. . . What a natural feel this poem has. Thanks, I enjoyed reading it.

EmmaRose,
I really loved this part:

a trilogy of scarlets
dance the rumba, court the concrete
off the stonefaced ground

Way cool girlie! I love fall and you brought it home.

I live on a tropical island, I have never experienced the joys of fall - You paint the picture beautifully. Enjoyed.

I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear
