October In Red And Yellow



 

Leaves 
by Elsie N. Brady



How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

 


 

Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.
 


At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air



 

Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

 

 

Elsie N Brady was born on July 19, 1904. She died on September 15, 1990 at 86 years of age.  Elsie N Brady had been residing in Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey.

Hope you like this poem. 

Stay well and safety.

    1. David, I posted my new video "Birds and Flowers" and thought you could tell me about the bird sounds that I used in making the video. Thank you.

  4. Hello dear Nadezda ! You are so tech savvy to have these little shows of your water colourings !
    I love seeing my peony and rose ! .. Your Autumn colours are so pretty .. reds and golds are gorgeous and I love the seed heads . The poem was beautiful. Anything to do with Autumn makes me feel happy .. so thank you for that ;-)
    I'm sorry for the state of the world right now .. I'm sorry for the good people of Russia and Ukraine that want nothing to do with war .. we have so little control over what happens , so we just have to get through it all some how, hoping that good will prevail. Stay well and safe my friend.

    1. Thank you dear friend. During these months, I really need your support. The season changes and so does life. Autumn colors are short-lived, quickly disappear.

  10. Such beauty and, at the same time, such ugliness in the world. I didn't want to come back to your blog but, I suppose, there are good and bad people in all nations. Maybe we gardeners turn our thoughts to kindness and light and compassion.

    1. Dear Friko,I'm touched that you've come here. I agree and believe that we gardeners grow, sow, preserve plants and actually love life and nature.
