These leaves are too shy
To stay green in the Autumn.
They get very pale.

minty green fall leaves
with a splash of chartruese veins
viewing these, soothes us

Autumn leaves appear
Showing colors of the earth
Subtly without flame
Tiny limbs support
Many leaves of varied hues
Signaling their source
Costumed for the chow
Green and gold take center stage
For their curtain call

dying valentines
funeral clothes, yellow, chartreuse
fashionable death
will arise in spring
wearing new bright green clothing
well dressed for summer

Sun kissed heart shaped leaves
Wait to be placed in bouquet
Outside brought inside.

COLORFUL LEAVES IN SUNLIGHT
HOW PEACEFUL THEY SEEM HANGING THERE
ALMOST LIKE IN A DREAM
By Jeanie (Mingo184@aol.com)
The trees looks like death
all their pale and weary limbs
left leaves on the ground.

Los árboles parecen muertos
todas sus pálidas y endebles ramas
dejaron hojas por el suelo.
By Emiliano (Poeta48@aol.com)
Leaves with their head bowed
Drooping over soft bent stems
Frost makes a visit
*
Leaves turning color
Overnight the mood has changed
Serious things abound

The Master Painter
Spills color over the earth
While we watch in awe

white wine of autumn
spray before the sunshine leaves
celebration of life
By Phyllis Ann (Starbird55@msn.com)
Bright in colors fall comes.
Yet green has not disappeared
I do not see winter.
*
Soon winter will show
She will blow the cold and frost
Looking like steam.
*
Yet no warmth's seen
Snow will come cold, wet snow.
Balls of snow hastily made.

breezy afternoon
and hearts dip, turn, and sway - in
a wind and leaf waltz
By Marilyn (LaraOct7@aol.com)
leaves of gold I see
some are wafting to the ground
I smile, it is fall
*
the trees begin to turn
so much shorter are the days
apple cider time
*
yellow and soon brown
tis fall as the leaves do fall
old man winter soon
*
rain mats the dry leaves
as the ground becomes carpet
alas, when the snow
By Tom (tomWYO@aol.com)
GOLDEN LEAVES CUDDLE
TRY TO STAY WARM WITHIN TIME
COOL FALL MIXED WITH RAIN
*
NO CHANGE AT HALFWAY
WILL NOT GET ANY WARMER
SOON TO SAY GOOD BYE
*
DAYS WILL BE SHORTER
WINTER WILL BE ON THE WAY
THEY WILL ALL FALL DOWN

Heart's peace,
golden and green shaded
leaves speak!

Pirates' gold spilling,
Dangling, twinkling, spinning
Enticing the eyes.

Fading in glory
Fall's inner lights glowing,
Blowing their last kiss.

casket of golden coins
all too quickly spent
