Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged , , / / by
The ancient elm, shaking herself awake releases a shower of gold-leaf leaves Turning each edge to the rising of sun they dance in a small breeze ballet Some cheekily exposing cheeks some shyly turning away some reaching back to momma tree some rushing to grace the ground some hanging in hesitant suspension If it were not Thanksgiving day I would be grateful anyway

Second in the series of five Thanksgiving poems from  Leaflet: a poem progression. http://www.neilmeili.com/neils-books/leaflet-a-poem-progression/ Written in Austin Texas, Thanksgiving 2014, re-celebrated, Canadian Thanksgiving 2020
