Like the scattered rain that trickles down forehead,
Down fingertip,
Leaves dance against an expanse of grey clouds.
Little beauties of Autumn: shinning red, yellow, green.
They dance freely, while some are
Plastered color against the sidewalk by rain and busy feet....
"It's such a beautiful sight," you say.
Until something
cold, dripping, and yellow smacks between your eyes, and Startled,
you exclaim, "Look at all the dead, wet leaves everywhere."
And hurry home.
