Shaken by gustiness
some leaves appear
frightened – others, drunk
Shaken by gustiness
some leaves appear
frightened – others, drunk
The shapeliness of
leaf-shadow its
mid-morning sway
Leafy confetti from
the poinciana
Small world celebration
Leaves rolling beside
me blow ahead to
welcome me home
Leaf shadows playing
wall games on
a sunny day
Trees sag leaves
droop the weight
of watery evidence
Fallen leaves rising
as hedgerows their
colourless history
Leaves where they
should be
Treed, and strewn
At the library’s herb
garden a summer of
leaves unbound
Red carpet welcome as
I walk by
Man sweeping footpath
Zig-zagging among
fallen leaves waltzing
with eucalypt castoffs
A sweep of leaves
blown sideways
wheeling at the corner
Leaves blown
far from home
Groundlings abiding
Leaves relieved of
their leafy tenure
join rakish gangs
