Leaves swirl at my feet
a colourful tornado
Stark, bare trees stand above

Fruits sour, leaves crisp
Heavy is the sodden floor
Weightless blossoms fall

Burnt oranges and reds
Gardens bereave buds of youth
Babes await their turn

Light dims beneath clouds
Wind shakes its fists; bleeding trees
Life gives life anew

Lots of really crisp images here I enjoyed. One little query — last line, third verse, — is it referring to the garden still, the growth to come? Rhiannon

Yes, its referring to new life, thankyou :)

I like the first one, there's a good contrast going on. :)
