the yard and garden
laden with crunchy brown leaves
autumn settles in
my tree skipped color changes
but resistance is over
in the dark of night
a fierce autumn wind blew through
the yard is wind swept
lessening the musical
crunch of leaves on morning walks

Strong winds will certainly mess up the music scene. A pity!
