When I came back from my cycling excursion around the mountain yesterday, I witnessed a wondrous display of leaves dancing in the wind. It was not hard to discern the fairies.
Dance of the Autumn Leaves
Enchanted by the dance
Of the autumn leaves
The fairies have come out
Of their hiding places
Mesmerized
In their fascination
They join in the dance
They twirl
They whirl
They swirl
They reel
They spin
They turn
They swivel
They pivot
They twist
They lift their skirts
The wind laughs
Urges them on
Such a display
Just for me
For I am truly alone
Here and now
And not by choice
There is no one else
To witness this delight
Of fairies and leaves and zephyr
This magic of autumn moments
Just me
And my friends
The fairies
The leaves
And the wind
Laughing in the trees

Mon cher REGIS, Depuis un bon moment je n'arive pas a repondre a tous mes amis qui m'ecrivent des aimables rewiews. La raison est simple, je n'arrive plus a envoyer des reviews, car mon systeme ne prend pas le click pour envoyer. Ne vous inquietez surtout pas. J'ai ecrit deux fois a l'administration de AUTHORS DEN mais je n'ai vu aucune reponse depuis des mois. Vous pouvez me joindre aussi a mon e-mail emile.tubiana.net

A beautiful sight to see the Autumn leaves, falling and the wind blowing them. But then they are raked. Excellent piece, Regis........GOD BLESS YOU......Peace, Tony.
Love leaf poems. Probably written almost as many as I have about rain.
Every emotion comes to the fore. Brown leaves falling make me think of dying soldiers. Lie on the ground, unnoticed? Or waiting to be ...
never mind.
Your poem is wonderfully light and cheering. Best place to be!
Fall is a beautiful season, Regis, and what better way to experience it than on your bike in the mountains watching the dancing leaves. Nature has many lessons for us - our five and country senses awaken in the midst of her charms.
Love the second guess at the end, Regis: brings us back to reality! We are certainly most blessed when nature puts on her special show "just for us" and it's further enhanced when the supernatural puts in an appearance as well to delight and entertain us. A real touch of A Mid-Autumn Afternoon's Dream about this one! :)) xx
I enjoyed your Fairy Tale...I have designed many costumes for shows that have fairies in them...It is my favorite type of costume to design..
Love your poem, it brings me right into fantasy land...
She dances in time to the season, dressed in her brightest suite so as not to be missed by the eyes of onlooking admirers. Nature's opera with harp like whooshes floating, spinning, twirling in regalia through the air, to destiny and the awaiting earth, leaves. Regis, a beautiful picture you printed on my imagination. I wish you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael
"they lift their skirts"
...and you peeked!!
I hear the joyous laughter Regis
Thanks for this lovely autumnal delight
and now in the russet umber of any leaf rustling
I will be thinking you & their flirty skirts
:) Go to Ireland my dear friend
for 'tis true they dance and abound...
You are not alone and they display this little
jig just for you, even it only imagined with the delightful
way you write, you have brought them to life...
Love this! I so loved the playfulness in this piece...Myrna

I love the twist, the flow, the feel, the dazzling light of this wild reel, the wind, the wings, the nod, the wink, the laughing smile at the brim's wide brink, when at the end, the way does wend towards your joy, dear Nature's friend!
Oh, to be in the midst of the twirling and swirling of the autumn leaves! Like a symphony of high and low notes, one can almost sing out their happiness in the moment; watching the fairies as they come out of their hiding places to amaze us with their dancing their way around the autumn leaves. Magical, Regis. I so enjoyed this.
I saw your video and heard you recite this poem. Absolutely beautiful. You should put up a link to the video here so readers can witness this remarkable happening and also hear this poem in spoken word. Thank you for sharing.
It is said, that if you see such a sight, write your desire or concerns on paper and throw it in with the leaves, once they stop, you'll get your answer.
This is my personal inspirational book of poetry. It contains many poems written for family, friends, and relevant life situations. Hopefully you will find some that will encourage and inpsire you in whatever arena you are found in your circle of l
