Much Older Poem

Aside from the quirky moments in life which inspire one to write a poem, I often feel inspired to write seasonal poetry - poems that focus on the speaker's surroundings, and how that changes from season to season. To reference a previous post, the poem "The Days Are Shorter Now" was written in that vain. Since I seem to be on sort of an Autumn kick here, I'm posting another short, seasonally inspired poem. This one was published last year in 'The Ariel.'

WALTZ OF THE LEAVES

Leaves falling in a rhythmic waltz
from the branches of a dead-grey tree,
one two three, one two three,
one two three
