Leaf poetry

Fiery hues of ochre, orange and scarlet

Crayon against a cerulean sky.

Invisible breeze swirls in the branches,

Chattering, rustling, whispering,

Composing in her own idiom.

Leaves dissolve into a spectrum of inks,

The wind dips in and out,

Scribbling colourful, lyrical notes:

Yellow verbs, red nouns, orange prepositions;

Combining, revising, madly, capriciously;

Fervently penning

A playful, nonsensical

Poem for the autumn.
