Autumn Leaves Poem by James Casey

Autumn Leaves

As fairies dance among wildflowers,
All is bright and fair.
As they sing their song
Autumn leaves float upon the air

They run through a flowered field, leaping,
Strewing petals all around.
As they reach a leaf filled creek,
Other leaves flutter idly down

A red-haired pixie in a golden dress
Had some fall upon her yellow gown
She stumbles into the rust stained creek,
Her dress now rains teardrops of brown.

Another, dark-haired, lovely miss
Lets the petals fall where they dare.
Tangling deep in her bouncing curls.
And some on top of her raven hair

Wings are stained from water and
The leaves that it enhanced
To whom will they tell the story
Of the wonders of this dance
