Embraced By Fall

Slightly cliche, but I thought it was pleasent.

           Oh sweet voice do speak to me,

                        Here now tell me what you see.

            Through the leaves of the trees,

                        As fall’s art gives way to a breeze.

 

            Now the clouds of gray do break

                        The Sun’s warmth allowed to make

            A gentle shine, which my vision it takes.

                        The clouds cover again, for my vision’s sake.

 

            My ears, at last, do find

                        A squirrel at work, at his daily grind

            To chew and munch with winter on his mind

                        Preparing for that winter’s chilling bind.

 

            Feel now between my toes

                        The fallen leaves that just brushed my nose

            Now away with the wind it goes

                        A wave of red passes as the wind blows

 

            My smell detects on the air,

                        With each watery drop in my hair,

            The scent of rain from everywhere,

                        But I sit here without a care.

I like the story you tell with this poem. Some of the rhymes are a little heavy handed and I wonder how this would read if you just wrote the poem with the rhyming. It's still good though...just a thought on my part. Feel free to ignore it :)
