God made a quilt out of leaves...and it is keeping the grass warm.
Nice one Chris...I just went outside to search for a blade....but we have so many trees here that the grass is totally covered...and the quilt goes snap, crackle, pop as I walk through it.
relate to this one, big time.

At the end of the patio where the ground slopes away; we built a wall (safety for small children.
Also it made a built up stand from a Barbee (Flower pots on most of the time ; and a shelter for taller trees
It is a collecting place for wind blow leaves. and. a home for wintering slugs & snails

I had a home that had several Cottonwoods (Aspens) in the backyard surrounding my deck. It took very little breeze for the leaves to move, rustling and dancing. It was great until the fall when I had to rake up 40 lawn bags full. A lot of people call them dirty trees but I liked them.
Thanks for the reminder Chris

Birch trees can make a mess too, but I am very fond of mine and the colours and moods throughout the seasons. Well worth the effort and the raking up keeps me fit. All good wishes.
The truth of natural beauty expressed in three lines. good work.

The gentle quiet of a fall day captured beautifully, I can almost smell it. Soon a blanket of white will adorn the gold. The "shivers" feel like an omen. Also a wonderful metaphor on life, in the autumn of our span how many green blades can yet be seen?

Here in Michigan. Winter had arrived. The leave are on the ground and the cold winds are here. Very nice use of words dear Chris. I liked the four seasons. I return to Michigan. The Texas and Georgia heat. Too hot. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Our silver birch trees in the garden are littering the ground with layer on layer of gold leaf. It truly is beautiful to see. Time well invested to sit and look. Have a great Thursday.
