~ Autumn Leaf ~

How the Autumn leaf
Awaits the fall
Of so many.
Discarded are they
Cast off along the way
Of roads and pavements
And often blocking drains.
Nature needs
To shed it's old
No longer needed
Discard the old.
Soon the trees
Will be barren
And cold
Darkened
By day
Evil by night.
Soon the
Autumn leaf
Shall no longer be
In sight.

Autumn, my favourite month !! The leaves turning gold and red as nature gently goes to sleep. You are very talented and a real credit to island blogging. Look forward to reading more of your unique poems.

"And often blocking drains" - a line that bids to become as immortal as Tenneyson's famous "And down the line the electric message came She is no better, she is much the same".
Barney from Swithiod spoilsport
As you well know, Tennyson's words were in fact (in the revised edition): "She is no better, she is much too tame." Of course, the "she" did not/ could not refer to Chrissie Mary Morrison (I have to take Calum.'s word for this).
