A HARVEST PARTY RHYME

For Roy's challenge - http://royd-spiltmilk.blogspot.com/2011/10/lothtm-so-what-up.l




THE FALL OF LEAVES







Sun kissed yellow
Bright orange
Earthy brown leaves
Fallen from the trees
In a pile they’re gathered
Kids jump on them
Making ’em scatter
They jump up to
Grab the dancing leaves….


Mom gives ‘em pumpkin
To paint for the Halloween
They don’t wanna
Make it scary,
They paint eyes and
A tomato nose
Pin some leaves
To make it goofy.
They run around the yard
Bobbing for apples
Fight with each other
For a piece of truffle.




We eat, we drink,
We dance and play
Kids and grown-ups alike,
We look forward to
This time of the year,
Our annual harvest party
Is a Grand a’fair.

    We don't really have fall here at all and yet you used your imagination and creativity to conjure up this, Janaki. Well done!

    Janu, this is lovely! You are such a beautiful writer. This piece makes me long for my childhood home, romping through the leaves with my two sisters...
