The good side of me: I think this poem is sweet. Well written I do get the picture of the ballerinas as being old.
The bad side of me: I'm going to have to tell the wife. I can't burn that bag full of tiny ballerinas. I'm going to turn them loss and leaf blow them into that ladies yard next door to dance.
I've never liked fall very much (it leads right to winter & all that snow, you know!) - but I like the image this evokes. Maybe I won't curse too much when I see the leaves dancing.
This was so magical, an enchanting piece on nature. Now I feel bad putting my little tiny ballerinas in the compost bin to be swirled around by earth worms.
That is so pretty! I can just smell the autumn when I read this and feel the wind! The leaves do look like ballerinas. Lovely, Linda.
ReplyDeletelove the reference to ballerinas...lovely...bkm

That a beautiful shot and poem. I had to think twice about what time of year it is, I almost forgot we're still in the middle of summer!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good week!

I can almost smell fall..thanks for sharing the dance!
ReplyDeleteHere in New England, we enjoy the entire corps de ballet in the backyard. Until it's time to rake them, and then not so much.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely little poem.

Dustus- I love fall too, next to summer.
ReplyDeleteThe Bug- I love fall, but I think we all end up cursing the leaves occasionally.
Claudia- I don't want to think about it yet either, but summer has been kicking our butts since early June.
