Saturday morning in late Autumn
I take a walk in the park
Trees on fire
Cerulean blue sky
Sunlight streaming down like halleluia through the treetops
This is what all the fuss is about
Oh it’s lovely to be out with all of the dogs and people, people and dogs
babies and strollers
walkers, runners and riders
Leaves, the size of dinner plates, lay down their worries next to the path where I power-walk
If I was a woodland fairy, I could find a lot of uses for those leaves
i love this! LOVE the sentence about leaves laying down their worries. and the one of sunlight streaming like halleluiah. you've put in to words what a glorious autumn day can feel like.
ReplyDeletethanks so much. today is an example of a nasty autumn day - cold and windy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem --you've captured the magic of fall! I can feel that warm sunlight streaming down through the leaves...
ReplyDeleteI like the whimsical mention of woodland fairies at the end.
