a leaf speeds over
the falls; is trapped below,...
bobs to the surface.

“Gathering Leaves” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]
Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.
I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.
But the mountains I raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.
I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?
Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew duller
From contact with the earth,
Next to nothing for color.
Next to nothing for use,
But a crop is a crop,
And who's to say where
The harvest shall stop?

with winter at hand,
the last crisp leaves yield
only to stout gales.

Vortex Drop [Tanka]
drifting toward falls,
a leaf twists & pivots
-- as if frantically --
as if to avoid the fall,
then slips over & glides.

“Autumn” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]
All day I have watched the purple vine leaves
Fall into the water.
And now in the moonlight they still fall,
But each leaf is fringed with silver.

early Spring leaves,
catching the morning light,
look Autumn yellow.

rain patters
onto the leaves overhead:
spring rain is here!
