Look up and they're green, <br /> Look up and they're yellow and green. <br /> Then they're yellow, orange, red and green. <br /> And then most are yellow, green, orange, brown, <br /> Masses of moving colors, dancing up and down. <br /> <br /> Slow, colorful dances bemuse the morning breeze, <br /> The pace quickens with the evening wind. <br /> It's right, it's left, it's up and down, <br /> It's east, to west, to north, to south, <br /> Warmed and energized by the setting sun. <br /> <br /> Squirrels race among the leaves <br /> Doing their dance routines, <br /> Skimming and swaying the branches, <br /> Weighting the limbs and twigs <br /> With buoyant starts, stops and turns. <br /> <br /> The new season is appearing: Fall is here! <br /> Quietly and slowly birds hop from branch to branch <br /> Camouflaged among the leaves <br /> That silently fall, to carpet the ground and invite <br /> New crushing, musical rolls from children at play.<br /><br />Hildred Marjorie Schloss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fall-leaves-dance/
