Welcome to Poetry Friday! The leaves are turning vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and red. The air is crisper, and as you can see from the photo above, my porch is bursting with cororful blooming mums and an array of pumpkins. It feels like fall y'all, and it is my absolute favorite time of the year!
Dancing Leaves
Crimson and coral and yellow as butter--
We reach up to snatch waltzing leaves as they flutter.
Hip, hip, hooray for fall's festive confetti!
Let's-- Heap the leaves up and jump!
Are you ready?

I believe this was Heidi's first published trade book. It is full of delightful poems for all seasons, and it's one that has lasted the test of time. It was a favorite of my children, and now my granddaughter is enjoying it, too!
