The leaves blow here, the leaves blow there
The leaves are blowing everywhere
They're tumbling, rolling, falling down
Upon the cool autumn ground
They clothe the barren garden path
Which soon will see the winter's wrath
They swirl across the country lanes
Where softly fell the summer rains
Beautiful are their colors too
A variety of rainbow colored hues
The leaves blow here, the leaves blow there
The trees are bare by brisk autumn air
Susie Swanson, 2012
The trees are almost bare here in my neck of the woods after this week's wind, just a few left hanging to fall another day. I'm so thankful that's all we got was the wind, could have been alot worse. I feel so bad for the ones that's less fortunate.. So much destruction and so many lives changed forever.. My prayers are with them. God Bless, Susie
Susie, Our beautiful autumn leaves are gone...very few are left on the trees. It seems sad to me. Take care and enjoy this weekend. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to me too.. Thank you Susie.
DeleteLovely poem and photo, Susie. Joining with you in praying for the storm victims.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGreat poem, Susie.... I've been tackling our leaves this week (after the winds of last weekend). We still have 'some' leaves on our trees---so I'll have to do it one more time in a week or two. I love Fall---and I love all of our big trees. BUT--it's alot of work and takes much of my time... SO--I haven't been visiting blogs much either lately... Just no time!!!! Oh Well.
ReplyDeleteYes---I am praying hard for the people devastated by that horrible storm.
Hugs,
Betsy
Thanks Betsy. I feel sorry for you..The leaves are bad around my house too.. It's sad to see them go. Take care.
DeleteThanks for sharing the lovely poem, Susie! The leaves certainly have been beautiful. It's sad to see the trees grow bare, but we can hold onto the hope of life and beauty again in the spring. Hopefully the people faced with such destruction can find the hope of God restoring beauty to their lives as well. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteYes they have Connie and thank you so much. It is such a sad and tragic situation. I pray they can get their lives back on track everyday..Bless you.
DeleteSusie,Your words of poetry describe the phenomenon well. Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the leaves all disappearing and the tree left bare I thought they were dying. I had never seen that before.
Thank you Crystal.That is strange since you are going into summer now..
DeleteBeautiful words. I'm going to miss Autumn.
ReplyDeleteMe to Ben. Thanks.
DeleteYou've described a fall day so well in this poem, Susie. Our leaves haven't changed colors much yet; perhaps it's because of the dry summer we had. Maybe that will change since we've had about three mornings with frost. I didn't realize you lived in NC; for some reason I thought you lived in Texas.
ReplyDeleteYes the frost will turn them now Charlotte.. thank you.
