as I see all the leaves dancing near
They gracefully jump towards the ground
Where I am, they fall all around...
Where reddish sunsets grow unique
and clouds show off their great physique
The trees stand, half-naked
A season so pleasantly sacred.
Author notes
This was just e imagining myself at a park where all the leaves would just keep falling on and on in an endless pattern above me. And the sunsets where I am... incredible!

Where reddish sunsets grow unique
and clouds show off their great physique

A season so pleasantly sacred <<< these lines were beautiful and i think you did a great job on the rhyming , i loved your idea for this poem, it was short and sweet and rather beautiful to read
well done -
This has a wondeful flow to it; especially read aloud. This takes me to a time in my life where I thought things were so stagnant and yet they too changed with the season. Great job

Beautiful picture. Peaceful and great. I like the lines:
They gracefully jump towards the ground
Where reddish sunsets grow unique
and clouds show off their great physique

It's soft and flowing, but also a unique look at the season--even though there are trees and bushes with red leaves, I never thought of them in connection with a sunset before, or linked the setting sun with autumn. Beautiful!

Autumn is indeed my favorite time of year. I wish it hung around a little longer before all the craziness of premeditated sacrificial money mongers char the holy days. *grrrrrrrrr*.
Anyway, the imagery is outstanding and it
shows a less abstract side of your writing.
I love the way you up and down a straight
line. It's unique as is the first one I read
from you.
I'd only do ONE thing, were it mine.
switch 'all' for 'fall'. An alliteration
thingie that might make a difference.
Super!

That was an awesome write with great imagery, I like it a lot! :-). OOOOOOO I have a spoiler, soon after this theres an episode where the leaves are replaced with white stuff :-P. J/K. Really though, it was a really good write.
