For the Love of Leaves: A Fall Poem

Ruth Carter
Vibrant colors of light and flame

Dance before my eyes as the autumn wind blows

A sight of wild beauty untamed

As the trees sway in the direction that the cool breeze goes

The season of harvest and enchantment has arrived

Pumpkins, apples, and corn all abound

The smell of apple cider, roasted corn, and pumpkin pie

Induce smiles from all those gathered round.

Delicious memories to be made during this lovely time of year

Another chance to show our love for those whom we hold dear.
