The leaves once so pretty
flirted shamelessly with
every gentle breeze
and how gracefully
they danced in the
bright glow of every sunshine.
Now touched by the
cold autumn wind
the leaves break free
from the trees
to hide their wrinkles
and fall from grace
into a roadside ditch.

perhaps falling from grace is just as natural as the autumn leaves being shed by the trees. it reminds me of the melancholy of "the sun also rises" by Ernest Hemingway. and that's a compliment!
Anmolpreet Kaur thank you for visiting and leaving constructive comments. The like is appreciated too.
The thin line between the two seasons well described and what a good comparison.

Dan thank you for your constructive criticism on this work. Every season has a purpose and autumn is when nature begins to slow down before winter locks it down and spring reawakens it.
Appreciate the encouraging like.
I am impressed with the imagery and efficiency of your words, but also somewhat depressed. This season in life does have it's purpose.
