Chiming leaves that
dance on their decent,
dead memories of
the summer Sun

Crackle, Crackle
under foot and paw
crumbling remembrances
of the warming breeze

Sickly yellow, browning red
the thick layers,
Mother Earth's blanket
for her Winter bed

I was actually on a camping trip when I wrote this. It was God-forsakenly cold.
