with collars turned up, we warm hands in our pockets... winds pilfer the trees ~ The acorns have been bouncing like brown raindrops If I could sell them, I would open a shop ~ As leaves somersaulted in masses from all the russet trees, small children were running to classes, along the littered street ~ Brisk autumn winds, weaving through grass twirl bright golden leaves, fluttered and spun blushing like children, who tumble and laugh playing gymnastics, having their fun with cart-wheeling antics, under the sun __________________________________________________________ Four Forms: Haiku,Couplet,Free Verse,Quintain For Contest sponsored by Silent One "Poet's Dozen" 11/6/15

Absolutely brilliant! Full of original lines and beautiful thoughts..."The acorns have been bouncing like brown raindrops - If I could sell them, I would open a shop". Carol Ann Duffy would applaud...Superb!! My very best wishes, Carrie! :) john P.s A much deserved Seven!

All 12 lines very good indeed but I'm in love with the last four. I love the personification of those leaves & how it ties to the couplet above with the leaves & children in metaphor! Nice job and good luck!
