Challenge
Write about leaves.
Write about leaves. The colors, the fun of jumping in them, the sadness of how they are falling. The hope of renewal. Anything you associate with the season or falling leaves. Use any format.
Crisp.
Like biting an apple.
In the first cool breeze.
The subtle, natural sound.
Of the first steps on leaves.
Like nature’s confetti.
In the midday sun.
The dried and the dead.
Off the trees they come.
Floating and twirling.
Twisting through air.
Hovering until they hit,
the pavement with care.
I take a bite and take a step.
Crunchy, crispy, clean.
Shedding the dead, to nourish the soil, and grow anew again.
