Fallen Red Leaves


Fall's Fallen Red Leaves

 - Joy Krauthammer


Fall's fallen red leaves
make my heart skip a beat
and my feet 
skip in joy.

Early morning, 
silly I feel
 jumping into the little pile of leaves
moist with evening's foggy dew.
Autumn 2013 

Fall's fallen foliage
peak in redness.
Please peek at picture.

Sharing the only red leaves
I've encountered in LA.

love and blesSings, Joy

Love lone Liquidambar styraciflua, 
sweet gum tree in Santa Monica.
Five pointed leaves turn crimson, flutter down. 
Their fruit-- spiky, prickly hard round pods,
hang over my parked car.

On a thick foggy fall,
early Sunday morning
as I squat on the damp ground
and photograph beauty,
walkers go silently past. 

Do they see the brilliant red leaves
 solely on this tree?
