Kaleidoscope


envious of your ability
to dance with wild abandon
dressed in a kaleidoscope of color
for muted was never your style
winds breath upon your nape
as you twirl and whirl
                                  unfurl
                                          then curl
your color only fading as you dip
upon hearing the final curtain call

    What a beautiful autumn poem. I also admire the way the leaves dance with abandon. If only we could free ourselves to do the same. Smiles! (Loved the photo)

      I often wish I could do things with abandon, dance, skip, approach life.

    Your poem is a nice tribute to autumn leaves. Through your words, I see the leaf drifting slowly in the air. Also, your photography is gorgeous! :-)

    how beautifully your poem breathes the story of leaf's autumnal journey - the freedom to be who one is, right up until the final curtain... so much we as humans could learn from that wild abandon, if we chose

    gorgeous photo too

    We all have our reasons to be envious of the leaf, even in such a situation it is floating and not sunk:)

    Oh my gosh, this image! So delicate, the colours, and that delightful little curl at the top of the leaf. Just exquisite, my friend.
