Beech leaves
Cinnamon brown and clinging,
Dervish-dance in winter wind.
*
The fast breeze moves
Their death to life,
In crepe-paper dry animation.
*
They haven't heard it's past the fall
And all green life was left behind,
When summer was in waning.
*
Leaves (near froze) by tempest, bend
Crinkled flags of brown and gray
Flutter-whirling, side to side,
*
Like lifeless, wrinkled marionettes
Worked by stringless, hidden ties
Of winters puppeteer wind.

WOW!!!! Now this one is going into my library here. It's still supposedly summer in the UK, but the leaves are falling, and this poem makes me realize that a new season is just around the corner. Loved this...~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~
