In golden umber attire,
soldier leaves, torn from their posts,
respond to the clarion
call of the Autumn tempest.
...
Flocks of sparrows swirl
Like Autumn leaves in updraft
Wheeling and twirling.
...
Autumnal Assault
In golden umber attire,
soldier leaves, torn from their posts,
respond to the clarion
call of the Autumn tempest.
Pouring into the roadways,
a spiraling cavalry,
surrounding adversaries
that heedlessly pass through…
Then scattering, regrouping,
leaping and charging upward
to the high ground, preparing
for their next joyous sortie.
