24 August: An Elevenie Poem

autumn leaves on the ground

Leaves
are falling.
Heat drained them
dry. A crumble from
green exposing their brown skeletal
end.

Poem form: Elevenie. The image is mine. ©Misky 2022 Shared with #amwriting on Twitter

    I’m used to reading your excellent poetry but your image is perceptive, too.

    Reminds me so much of us 3 years ago. It was so distressing. Our plane tree lost about half its leaves in February – still definitely summer. They all just turned yellow and gave up.

      I suspect you’ll be sloshing around this summer in rain because we’re still in drought conditions. That’s what happens when La Niña is circulating in the Pacific.

        Yup. We’re not putting the gum boots away yet.
