The wind escorted
a handful of brown leaves
over a serpentine curb onto the concrete drive.
They rattled and chatted
about global warming, or being gone
before the lady with the red Honda returned.
Since I don’t speak wind, or
any particular dialect of leaf,
it was the best interpretation I could make.

A-1!
Sounds to me like you speak wind well enough to get by! ... Now, if you would speak it on the recording we all could hear it with that suthern accent... ;-)
Sometimes it is better than the actual words. Enjoyed.
i like this pat
u are a great poet, always write something smart...
i only wish i could speak wind too.
speak its language
The leaves talk!! I love it! :)
the leaves talk, but we never listen.
You may not "speak wind", but you write like it's a breeze. :)
...Are you sure you don't speak wind? I think you do. Most likely, you simply were distracted by the lady in the red honda...that's all
We are privy to lots of conversations we don't fully understand. That is a great point to remember. Good one Pat!

Nice!
This is very original, and very good. Bravo...
Eavesdropping on leaves now, are we Pat? Well, I always thought leaves needed to have a good interpreter around for the rest of us befuddled folk who are dumb to the art of leaf speak.
Charming piece! I really enjoyed this.
Love it, Pat!

Richard Kay, thank you!! Have you done away with comments on your blog??
Thanks Floots!!
Dsnake, we were typing at the same time. No, actually they have a unique stutter to their speech. Thanks!!
Yep, comments turned off Pat. I've turned my blog into a private diary that others have 'read only' access to.
Feel free to visit and amuse yourself for 30 seconds once or twice per week as my life unfolds in occasional haiku.
If I write a killer haiku . . . ha! . . . you can send praise to me via the email link on my Blogger Profile. But you shouldn't have to do that too often. ;-)
Lovely. Our daily fairy tale!:)
