d’Verse Poets Pub – Quadrille #90 – We’re all a-quiver.
De has us quivering in just 44 words.
–
The leaves have shed their summer greens
to flaunt the bold yellow, orange, and red
kept hidden, in modesty, throughout summer.
They quiver joyfully on branches, salsa dancing
with the wind in wild abandon.
Until, reluctantly,, they release their grip –
free falling to earth.

I love the description of leaves doing salsa dances before letting go. I also like the description of leaves shedding summer greens for autumn colors. Well written.

Lots of colour and action in your quadrille, Candy. I love those leaves that have shed their summer greens and now salsa dance in wild abandon – so joyful!
