 Nature Burned The Leaves


Moon stood witness
to the seasons clashing. 
Trees ignited, despite
her careful watch. 
Earth Mother released
the first cold snap!.


 Crackling, sizzling,
summer’s memory glowed.
By morning, trees smoldered
yellow, red and orange.
Fragile, crisp remains
decorated the yard.


Vibrant ash free-falls
stuck to our caps.
Colors danced in efforts
to escape our rakes.
Summer’s after burn,
gloriously piled for jumping.
