Barren, save a leaf or two
she stands

~naked~

chilled to the core, and more
yet for a leaf or two
caught, hanging on
for salvation's sake.

Rake away!
Rake away!

for I shall store up my energies,
begin anew if I have to
whist shivering in bare arms that wave
Praise be!
Praise be!

to warmth and sunshine!
as I sip a new refreshing dew
of tendered smiles
'cross miles of autumn gold.

Behold,
I will yet know
Spring!

Yes, you will, but please keep at least a few leaves

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Wow!:

“...sip(ping) new refreshing dew
of tender... smiles
'cross miles of autumn gold”

now that’s ‘grand imagery’!

I was “rak(in’) away” just this mornin'....
and most assuredly Spring-dreamin’!

Kacy, this is such a beautiful poem. I
know the raking of leaves is hard work, but the colors
are so pretty not long before they start falling.
Hugs,
Ethel
