POEM - Falling for Fall

This year
The leaves have changed
With a vengeance
As if trying
To make up
For the lousy fall
They called in
Last year

Admittedly
Summer didn’t help
That year
When it never rained
But this last summer
That just casually ended
Mellow and gently
Floating out
On the river of water
That never stopped
For three months straight
Left a rich reservoir
An endless palette

And as I looked out
From the second story
Of my office in the city
The trees are  overcome
In brilliant hues
Falling headlong into winter
Trailing autumnal splendor

In swirling shattered eddies
