Autumn Wind, by Seamus |
Whisp’ring softly among the leaves, Whistling faintly across the eaves. Creeping, sneaking, cold fingers reaching, it’s coming around again. Dancing briskly amid the leaves, Gently, quickly, around it weaves. Wheeling, banking, onward it’s taking its partners across the glen. Piercing, biting, not yet knife-like, Chilling child and adult alike. Rising, falling, it is foretelling, winter confined to the den. ‘Cross the Earth the autumn wind blows, Lifting leaves wherever it goes. Cooling, dark’ning, the seasons changing, fall comes to the world of men. |

Absolutely and perfectly flawless in every way. I'd give it an 11 but they won't let me. In fact I can't seem to get the voting button to work at all. Do you know if maybe I'm doing something wrong? |
