Certain of the Seasons

I’m dancing madly with the wind
that plays with fallen leaves ~
you see they’ve all become unpinned?
They’re piled on house’s eaves…

They bounce in drifts and trickle through
street grates and under doors!
I like to dance like this and do
mad autumn things because…

When old leaves fall it’s not too long
till greener leaves begin
to sprout again all bright and strong,
on trees in time for spring.
