For a Time


Swirling, twirling
Falling to the ground,
Splashes of color
To the earth they are bound.

For a time they show
Bright beauty of spun gold,
Mingled with crimson and ginger,
Exquisite and bold.

Artwork on a grand scale
Displayed for all,
The very work of the hand
For which they call.

I love this poem. The rhyming and cadence is very nice, coupled with the photo to make a very complete poem loaded with imagery of fall.

Excellent! Good job. :-)

That is a very beautiful nature poem, with lovely movement in the rhythm to reflect the motion of the leaves.

Angel, you capture the imagery of a waning season brilliantly! I love the title.
