Autumnal Assault Poem by Marcene Lloyd

Autumnal Assault

Rating: 5.0


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.

A wind storm was moving in and leaves were rushing everywhere as we drove up the road, and it looked like a leaf war.
