Frail and fluttering leaves ride on breezes that flow
Brisk winds tossing them to a new height
Like casting characters in a magnificent show

Colors so radiant they cast a flaming glow
Swirling, twirling, mesmerizing our sight
Frail and fluttering leaves ride on breezes that flow

Fallen leaves are lifted when the wild winds blow
Sending arrays of colors deep into flight
Like casting characters in a magnificent show

Silent breathes of wind nudge leaves so slow
Dreamy like feathers so pure and light
Frail and fluttering leaves ride on breezes that flow

Currents of air transfer leaves to and fro
Winds blow gently into the night
Like casting characters in a magnificent show

Leaves dance 'round while bounding high and low
Parading in rhythm to all a delight
Frail and fluttering leaves ride on breezes that flow
Like casting characters in a magnificent show

Didn't know such a simple process of leaves falling off can inspire a poem. Nice poem.

I love your imaginative, very descriptive writing of falling leaves with your description of casting characters and frail and fluttering leaves on breezes that flow. Very unique!
