It's Fall

red leaves on the damp sidewalk
a cold wind gusting
in the naked trees tiny birds flock
more leaves twirl to the pavement
overhead the haunting cry of a hawk
grey skies heavy with rain clouds
the weak sun the autumn dusk blocks

I hope my friends remain clothed for just a while longer. I liked how you weaved the theme of decay into this poem. You show the beauty of Autumn and then explore a little deeper. The hawk is waiting for his prey at the top of the tree and the grey skies overshadow the sickened sun. Soon he will die and be reborn again in spring. Nicely done

A very beautiful and descriptive fall poem.
I'll be sad once all the leaves have fallen.
Winter is so dull and grey until the snows
start falling.

I enjoyed this a lot!
