All at once the wind makes them run

Brian, this is very visual. I liked it. It portrayed autumn very well. I also got the feeling that you wished you were one of those leaves being carried away to somewhere else by the wind. Great write. Thanks for sharing it. David
Just a trace perhaps of a wistful wish that you could follow in this lovely depiction of autumn, and a matching state of mind. jim
Apparently, you speak leaf language very well. Beautiful poem, Brian. Warm regards, Sandra
It's nice when the wind blows them back this way everyonce in a while. My oldest leaf, I mean daughter is roaming quite far but in physical distance only. I guess I'm going through half an empty nest syndrome as still have one more to go, it seems to soon. I love this poem, it speaks to me of the cycle of nature...the cycle of life. All the best, Diane
Excellent write Brian. It is very true. I think you are absolutely right on this one. Take care.
love this brian. thanks for coming over to my side of the house. love.
Great write! Sounds a lot like Fall...but I'm not quite done wringing the last few drops out of summer yet... Hugs, dee
enjoyable read, Brian. something quite refreshing here in straightforward symbolism. good meter. -Tailor
I love the simplicity of this poem, the images you have created and the strength it conveys in the last line. This poem made me long for Autumn - my favourite time of the year. Justine
Since little kidhood, watching the leaves change, blow and wander has been one of my favorite things... There is such reward in noticing the little things. You capture this spirit beautifully, Brian, thank you. Esther : ]
Beautifully simple as the 'independent' and simple motion of a leaf. Beautiful rhyme. My favourite by you. Susie.
Independence, that is a great visual you've lent to that word. Great work! Preets
Lovely, splendid imagery. A wondeful flow that took us there.
I enjoyed this very much Brian. I like the flow of it as well as the beautiful images it stirs up. I'm looking forward to Fall and it's a little bit chilly here this evening so this was especially nice right now. Sincerely, mary
They fly off alone Each on their own To wherever the breeze sends them Now free to roam Away from their home Declaring their own independence its great expression great 10+++++++++
