Leaves in Fall

On a walk, to my surprise

A waltz of color before my eyes

Red, yellow, and orange

Raining from the trees

In a fluttering dance

To the tune of Autumn

The choreography of their fall

Dictated by the wind

The leaves danced

With the gusts of the breeze

Until reaching the earth

A final rustle before rest

About the Author

Vera Sofia is an avid lover of literature, especially the modernists and the classics. She enjoys music as much as words and wishes she had more time to write creative fiction ( she is particularly inclined to produce the slipstream genre). Over quarantine, she read the eternal Anna Karenina by Dostoyevsky and she cultivated an herb garden that she's very proud of.

About the Piece:

The poem stirs up a gentle hope within me with its simple imagery. But that's just me trying to get reviewed before time, lol. As for the process, they just came to me and I put them in words.
