autumn leaves beyond the hill
graceful flight to decay and spill
a sensory riot into the night
anchored rapture in fight or flight
what once was strong has fallen down
the snow shall cover the frozen ground
and as the trickster owns the laugh
the time that's spent at quarter past
has sent the giant to sprawling knees
until spring arrives and thaws the leaves

Lovely flow and rhyme - it feels natural - makes a wonderful read!
Very lyrical... something about these words draws the mind to thoughts of autumn. Must be that word "decay" exerting its influence! Wonderful to read another writer's take on 3WW, especially when it is so eloquently expressed. Thanks for sharing.
Much like a song, you've taken the words and made them lyrical. I like what you've done.
Yes, this flowed so beautifully...the words rolled off my tongue. It had a wonderful rhythm. Great read!
