Dance of Autumn


    
                          Dance of Autumn
Leaves, falling carelessly from maple branches

Against a mauve-spattered sky

Dancing like philodendron

Flirting with the wind

Swaying to the music of the breeze

And poised against an azure haze

"Fair Autumn, Your majesty commands first place among all seasons

Drape your crimson and emerald gold

Over my shoulders
 -
Stay a while,

Most passionate  ~ Autumn Song

Stay a while longer...

Warm me with color before

Winter breaks the day with cold and ice

October morn - - wait! "
