(The first one didn't come out the way I wanted so I took out the instructions and left it plain.)

As If a Ticker-Tape Parade
Virginia Salter

Remnants of summer’s celebration
hang like spent party balloons.
Leaves lie as confetti
‘cross the earth
following autumn’s harvest parade.
And I reap joy
as I lie beneath
a brilliant sunshined-blue sky
halved with deep gray
as storm clouds
bid adieu
and Sir Wind
sweeps away tell-tale signs
of too much leisure
from my lawn
and porch.
I watch
as this gift leaf-raking
dances pirouettes
into Breeze’s
helping hand.
In awe, I stand, reap.
