The Leaves Wink--By Ken Allan Dronsfield--United States

The Leaves Wink

Whispered stillness at dawn

summer candle burning low

a quieted hush upon a breeze

orange coy rise in the fountain.

Leaves wink in the suns haze

toaster pops my english muffin

coffee pot chugs along slowly

cars roll by as the day begins.

Sirens echo in the distant hills

dogs howl and children smile

faceless people rush to a bus

lazy summer awaiting autumn.

Pumpkin patch on its final days

crispy mornings and hot cocoa

Autumn's time will soon be here;

leaves wink because they know.
