All day it rained all day the strong wind blew tonight....looking down from my window to gauge the damage I see in the moonlight blood spilled a battlefield of the fallen where shining and wet on the dark ground crimson maple leaves lie. . |

EnchantedLady~ Gorgeous .... just gorgeous~ Our Sycamore tree is shedding her aura of beauty all over the ground also~ Just in time for me to gather those HUGE leaves and paint them for the November and Christmas decorations~ The grandie girlies and I will be busy for the next few weeks, every spare minute up to our 'tickles' in leaves and paint~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Beutifully written. The only kind of war's aftermath to witness Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

(does happy unviolent Mother Nature battlefield dance) Yay, this is such a gorgeous verse brilliant with colorful imagery, yay, it makes me want to go roll in the leaves and warble with the songbirds, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Nancy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

DI~Enjoy your visit to the east coast. Yes I imagine it must look about the same as this picture, and it's the way it looks outside my window right now too! Noah~My friend..I would love to jump in the leaves with you..I'm not too sure about my warbling though. LOL Hugs. |

Rusty tears? I would love the colors of fall, the leaves rustling ghostly underfoot as if whispering secrets left by the wind which blew them there. Your picture is such a pretty visual to go with your delightful poem. Nancy, My husband is very happy not to have those fallen leaves to contend with. We have only a 30' holly tree in our front yard. It is baubled and bedecked in bright red berries for the time being. |

Hi Karen! I'll bet that tree looks beautiful too! I try not to rake too many of the leaves.. I would rather watch them as they dance on down the street. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs |

Tinker you paint so beautifully with words. Fall is such a beautiful time of year...unless you happen to be a leaf. Want to help me rake leaves?? believe in what your heart feels... |

Hi scorpio! Never thought of it that way..being a leaf I mean. I'm really not into raking them... would rather have a good wind carry them dancing and skipping on down the street. Thanks for stopping in.. Hugs and love ya, Tinker Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~ |
