Treasured Fall Changes

TREASURED FALL CHANGES
Seasonal color, rainbows of changing leaves.
Gravity designs a carpet, under naked trees.
Wind gusts give flight—natural leaf blower,
free flying blades float, acrobatic flips slower.
Settled resting, silvery sunrise morning frost.
Lie quiet, until squirrels play—leaves tossed.
April Ryan of Seattle plays poetry games with changing seasons once again.
SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).
SHARING STORIES is featured on www.northwestprimetime.com, the website for Northwest Prime Time, a monthly publication for baby boomers, seniors, retirees, and those contemplating retirement. The newspaper can be found in the greater Seattle area and other Puget Sound locations. For more information, call 206-824-8600 or visit www.northwestprimetime.com. To find other SHARING STORIES articles on this website type "sharing stories" in the search function above.
