Hour 15 (2022)- Ghost Leaves

Ghost leaves stirring on the trees
Shifting in the gentle breeze.
A brittle reminder before the freeze
Of the winter that is to come.
 

Early in the year they were green
Bright and vibrant, oh so clean
Shimmering with a fragile sheen
Pristine in spring.

 

As fall creeped in they slowly turned
Lazily, not so concerned
Losing their colour they had learned
Turning into ghost leaves.

  1. I liked how it began and ended with ghost leaves. I like how you personify the leaves; they welcome fall knowing of what’s to come because they already when through winter in the 1st stanza.
