  5. Fall By Erica L. OrdwayA great procession of leaves ushers in fall, Green now disguised by yellow red and brown, Falling and listening to the grounds call, Leaves decorate the outside like a bright crown. Wind begins this chilly season's fresh start, Slow at first but picks up speed in due time, The way the wind places the leaves is an art, Much like words placed on paper to show rhyme, Fall is the new victim to winters chill, This season is the one that can destroy, Covering the ground with snow is its thrill, Traces of fall are gone, winter finds joy. The cycle goes on throughout the long year, Fall can accept this now and has no fear. Ordway, Erica, Fall, POETRY IN NATURE.COM, http://www.poetryinnature.com/nature/poetry.asp?poem=3514, April 26 2010 Leaves by Leonard J Sherrott Falling gently with the breeze, Breaking canopy from the trees, Leaves of sizes big and small Flying high, then comes the fall. Floating gently to the ground Thousands,millions, without a sound. Slowly,surely,new leaves grow Seasons come and seasons go. Sherrott, Leonard, Leaves, Helium, http://www.helium.com/items/491377-poetry-leaves, April 26 2010

  6. October's Party George Cooper October gave a party;The leaves by hundreds came-The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,And leaves of every name.The Sunshine spread a carpet,And everything was grand,Miss Weather led the dancing,Professor Wind the band.The Chestnuts came in yellow,The Oaks in crimson dressed;The lovely Misses MapleIn scarlet looked their best;All balanced to their partners,And gaily fluttered by;The sight was like a rainbowNew fallen from the sky.Then, in the rustic hollow,At hide-and-seek they played,The party closed at sundown,And everybody stayed.Professor Wind played louder;They flew along the ground;And then the party endedIn jolly "hands around It's Autumn Again Andrea Rieck  It’s autumn againLeaves whisper the sound of our pastIn loss they pay a descent To the ground we fall It’s autumn againOur song is sung by the windEchoes of loss and griefThrough chilled air we wadeIt’s autumn againThe waters grow as cold as our heartsWe are alike – crusted in iceIn ourselves we freezeIt’s autumn againFlowers vanish from our sadnessOur beauty grows weak Covered in frost we witherIt’s autumn againThe rain falls like our tearsCan’t dry our eyesFrom the sky we descend It’s autumn againThe sun shines then fails like usOur sight becomes a wintry grayLost in darkness we will fadeIt’s autumn again Cooper, George, October's Party, Angelfire, http://www.angelfire.com/nc2/musings/AutumnPoems.html, April 28 2010 Rieck, Andrea, It's Autumn Again, PoemHunter.com,http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-autumn-again, April 28 2010

  7. AUTUMN LEAF If I were a leaf on a majestic tall tree, And I had the choice, of which I could be, I’d be a maple to turn orange yellow gold When the cool autumn winds turned warm nights cold. I’d want to be high as high could be, So all of the world would be open to me. I’d sway with the wind, spring, summer and fall Up in the maple so big and so tall. Then one moonlit night in October’s cold air, A beautiful frost would come paint me with care. All leaves would turn color, as God would have done To give the world beauty for short days to come. Then if I could choose on which day I would fall I pick late October when winds came to call. I’d choose Sunday morning so bright and sunny, As sun through the leaves flowed golden as honey. I’d pick the sweet moment, when the wind was just right To let go of my limb and float nice and light Drifting ever so calmly from the place of my birth, Then gently lie down to my rest here on earth. Autumn Leaf written by Sharon P. Pinnick Pinnick, Sharon P. , Autumn Leaf, Country Whispers, http://www.countrywhispers.com/autumnl/ , April 29 2010 Autumn Leaves I sit here at my window, staring out into space. My mind is a-wandering, searching for your pretty face. A gentle breeze caresses the trees, bristling and whistling your name. When I hear those Autumn leaves, I breathe a quiet sigh - what a shame! The golds, and reds, and oranges, twirl and twist within the mist, whispering of a Love once known, and I miss those lips once kissed. The olive greens, and browns, and limes, these leaves perceive as they intermingle, reminding me that I have myself to blame, for once again, being single! But pause a moment, consider this, these falling, dying leaves are not in vain. For they will rot, decompose, and re-fertilize, with each droplet of gentle rain. So, is there a lesson here, for me to learn, as I ponder Nature's course? What is the bond ‘tween these leaves and me, perhaps old nourishment for a New Love's force? Would you suppose, like Nature's clothes, we have to shed the old to become quite bold, and frolic amidst the Holly and the Ivy, or is this Ode just - one man's Lovelorn Folly?

  8. A Bed in the Leaves By Marian Kennedy My yard is full of leaves today Brown and yellow and gold I think I'll rake them in a pile Higher than my head Then I'll pretend it is my bed I'll jump in very quick And pile their leaves up over me For covers soft and thick I'll just lie there so nice and warm And look up in the sky And watch more leaves float down for me To rake up bye and bye Kennedy, Marian, A Bed in The Leaves, Teaching First, http://www.teachingfirst.net/Poems/Autumn.html, May 2 2010 THE LAST LEAFby Harry Behn A few leaves stay for a while on the treesAfter their color begins to turn,And no other leaves seem as gold as theseNot even the ones our bonfires burnWith golden flames in piles on the ground.A few leaves stay so long that I foundThe one last leaf on a tree in the snow,And when a galloping wind came roundThe edge of our house and started to blowSnow dust to sparkles floating free. When the wind ran away, almost with me,And sunshine settled quiet and cold.There, like a bird, still on the treeWas that lonesome leaf, no longer goldBut curly and brown and dry and old. Behn, Harry, THE LAST LEAF, Teaching First, http://www.teachingfirst.net/Poems/Autumn.html, May 2 2010

  10. That time of year thou may’st in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang: • In me thou see’st the twilight of such dayAs after sunset fadeth in the west,Which by-and-by black night doth take away,Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest: • In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire,That on the ashes of his youth doth lieAs the death-bed whereon it must expire,Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by: • This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well which thou must leave ere long. W. Shakespeare, Sonnet 28 • Shakespeare, William, Time and Seasons, • http://timesandseasons.org/index.php/2007/11/a-poem-for-leaf-fall/, • May 2 2010

  11. My Poetry

  12. The Leaves Attack Look at all the leaves Falling to and fro, All of them different colours. Falling down to the ground. Doom awaits them when they hit the earth. The people waiting below, Rakes in hand, Prepared to defend their land.

  13. The Colours of Autumn See all the colours Yellow, red, orange and brown Fall, so majestic

  14. The Rhymes in Autumn Leaves are floating everywhere People stop, stand and stare Yellow orange brown and red The trees all start to go to bed This beautiful season called fall I call it autumn that is all

  15. The Beginning of the End The leaves are coming off of the trees. I guess it must be autumn. Somehow summer has gone without me taking notice. Off to school I go. Look at all of the leaves

  16. Amazed I look up to the sky, and I see a bunch of leaves falling down at me. I sit amazed and follow a leaf as it falls. All of the colors and shapes are different nothing ever thee same.
