A Poem for Thursday -- October Wind

 

October Wind 

October wind swirling 

Leaves, red yellow and brown 

Valiant, colour classic 

They try to follow wind 
.

Despair displayed they fall 

Plunging, gutter awaits 

Branches cry, murmuring 

Not what they were born for 

.

Comes new day new tenants 

Little girls with dried sticks 
Write notes in the gravel 

Here lie trees' brave soldiers 

Their struggle not in vain 

Winter home for squirrels
