Fall Lanturnes

I've been playing with a form called the Lanturne which was a prompt on Margo's blog.  The form is five lines.  One syllable, two syllables, three, four, then one syllable again. 


leaves
blowing
in the wind,
yellow and red
fall.


wind
blows waves
through the trees,
spray of color
falls.


First
fall leaves
turning red;
summer heat can't 
last.

These are fun!I love the different views of fall, and the play on the word fall, and love the title, Fall Lanturnes. A great play on sound.

Oh the change of the season and the turning of the leaves. On the islands I do miss the change of he leaves. Our plants are so tropical and grow year round and they are like a jungle in our yard but so beautiful lovely poem
