falls in love

🍁Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they’re falling like they’re falling in love with the ground. 🍁 Andrea Gibson


I drive down Copperleaf Lane
looking at those copper leaves
falling from the poplar trees
(well, to tell the truth,
I’m not sure they’re poplars
but that fits well with my poem…
it’s called poetic license)
I see why the street is named thus, though
it is a copper way
on a copper day
Must have been named in fall
because other seasons the leaves were all
green
or absent
I love nature
reveals so much
patiently
one leaf
one name
one slow movement
at a moments time
and words can always find the rhythm and the rhyme
🍁
Amy Lloyd


Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
🍂
