All the Lively Leaves...
(an acrostic)
All the lively leaves
Leap in a chorus line to the rhythm of the wind
Landing as softly as a butterfly whisper
Tunnels of trees down the lane
Have an infinite palette of fire and sun
Even the half naked tree dances free
Little children squealing run and leap
Into the piles poppa tried to keep neat
Visiting rabbit's hair turn from brown to white
Evergreen trees stand staunchly unchanging
Like soldiers enduring a parade
Yet they tap their prickly fingers to the beat
Libraries of trees
Each lovelier than a poem
Amber umber ocher orange
Violet burgundy maroon pink
Even golden butterscotch lemon yellow
Scarlet crimson red...
...cover the ground like the blood Jesus shed
Lovely autumn acrostic.
