Like what seemed
A routine jamboree
The leaves groggily donned
Their most vibrant hues
And went on to face the world
Every day, as the daylight struck
Sometimes they tried
A vivacious crimson
And at other times
A sombre beige
One shade at a time
In one season each
Upholding the nature's
Variety by a seize
They were meant to
Keep performing their best
In order to engross
All the spectators
As they kept up with
Their defined lives zest
But then, there came those times too
When the silent stream below
Did gurgle past
With its gypsy feet
Ever so welcomingly
Or the murmuring breeze sang
All the yonder tunes
And tried to sway them away
To that world beyond
But more often than not
The leaves clinged on
Dearly to their only bark
Heaving a sigh
As the vagaries by-passed
And every single time, waited they
For the soothing moon to descend
Hoping to wake up
From the continuum
Even if by a miracle
To a new and a different day

Beautiful and poignant in a way I cannot explain. Loved the imagery so fine that I could see leaves trying out different clothes one at a time.
This is so beautifully written.
Wow! you've painted an imagery here and so beautiful are the leaves changing plush hybrid colors. Loved the idea of stream with its gypsy feet!
Speechless today. In awe! Wow! Loved it.
And you were thinking of not participating this year? Where are all these poems birthing? You're gifted.
What imagery you've painted, Ira! I love the myriad hues of the vibrant leaves, and the poem transported me to a far away land with colorful trees and a mountain brook.
Transported me to another world.
Beautiful and though provoking.
