Yup up hyar in the northrens it’s that time o’year. The leaves they are a-changin’ and a-fallin’.
This week we are going to “leave” the format choice up to you. None but your whim is ok too. The important thing is to Be Creative and Have Leafy Friggin’ Fabulousl Friday Flingin’ Fun!
This week the Friday Fling Fills its loose leaf binder with loose leaves!

Hello Bob & Michelle!!! What a beautiful blog!!! :love: :love: :love:
I so loved the PICs Michelle put on Bob’s draft preview!!! I chose one for this Haiku!!!
Welcome everyone to Friday Fling #150! We’re celebrating with leaves! The price is right and so are the colors this time of year in the northrens! We’ve raked ’em up into a big huge pile! Jump in and enjoy!
This is a repost from late last Fall. I’m working on something new to post for later.
These are by my friend “Sonnets” (Lori)… Thank you so much for your support and contribution to the Friday Fling Lori! :love:
Autumnal Signs Trijan Refrain
The signs of Autumn in the air
Orange, red, brown and gold
Fall”s splendor colors that we share
Nature’s colors are bold
Leaves drifting down the season’s here
The cool crisp days bring us some cheer
Leaves drifting down
Leaves drifting down
Autumn is here that much is clear
The signs of Autumn in the air
Shorter days crisper nights
Autumnal splendor makes us stare
Enjoy all of Fall”s sights
Chill in the air sweaters needed
The season’s change not defeated
Chill in the air
Chill in the air
The changing of season’s heeded
The signs of Autumn in the air
Clearly it’s Harvest time
Season’s advance and that is fair
Crisper air so sublime
Raking the leaves in a big pile
Enjoying the outdoors awhile
Raking the leaves
Raking the leaves
Jumping in leaf piles we do smile
And another poem by Sonnets!
Autumn Leaves
When Autumn leaves begin to fall
I find I miss you most of all
Enjoy the crispness of the air
If you were here, that we share
The times of Autumn splendor fun
Cease to exist, now they are done
The seasons pass i just don’t care
If you were here that we could share
Time marches on it’s simply fate
All memories now it’s too late
I search for you but you’re not there
If you were here, that we could share
When Autumn leaves begin to fall
If you were here that we could share
Beauty In Leaves Show
As beauty in a lady know
Her hair with leaves glow
For beauty in leaves show
Her warmth with nature flows
Precious kittens watching soon will grow
Enjoy seeing beauty in all before you are old
Beauty as love adds youth within keeping us whole
Great Autumn blog…will try to get by tomorrow…hearting for now! :love:
It’s time for me to go now and pick up my daughter.. See you all in the early morning and keep on bringing your autumn leaves to the fling to share! Goodnight!!! :love:
Hello, I am Noreen Snyder but my pen name is Noreen Ann Jenkins. I am new here and my first time posting on here. I just wrote a Haiku on Autumn Leaves.
Autumn Leaves
Leaves, oh leaves falling
gently to the naked ground
dancing with the wind

FALLEN LEAVES OF AUTUMN
They come every year
Some times early than late
Leaves they fall for you and me
Autumn leave fallin
Like the tears from my eyes
I shall miss you so when you fall
Winter is soon to come
And all the leaves will be gone
Oh autumn leaves I await to see you next fall
Autumn leaves
They come and go
Like the season do you know
Fallen leaves of autumn
With all your pretty colors of reds yellows and gold
I hate to see you go but await e your come again next year

They did not swirl in a lazy colorful blaze
tumbling in their gracefull ballet without sound
the leaves were crashing, hurling in a craze
A sudden thunderstorm ripped them to the ground
A torrent of leaves torn from their lofty perch
The thick oaks, maples, ash, chestnut and willow
wildly whipping along with the skeletal birch
A quilt of many colors and a radient pillow
nestled and unkempt thrown to the sodden earth
Soon just multi hued confetti under the pines
losing the green hues that they held from birth
bright colors of their dying fading to sullen brown
Sqishing like a sponge underfoot bringing me down

I think I spent more time making the text readable than actually writing the piece! I’m not happy with either, but passing time does not allow us to do everything we wish, now does it?
I couldn’t think of anything “leafy” to say…
A love in vein .
A love that is a cowered
A love that should of never been.
A love with so much heart sin.
A love that thrives on nothing but a phone call.
A love that echoes it’s so wrong.
A love that is so hard to belong.
A love that calls out heartaches.
A love that keeps a part of hearts.
A love not strong enough to hold together.
A love that is has blinded has the night.
A love that has nothing insight.
A love that never shines with light.
A love that thrives on a heartache fight.
A love that has never been right.
A love found in only two hearts.
Everything else is torn apart.
In my eyes this love is cruel.
In my eyes folks should not rule.
In my eyes this life has been a lie.
In my eyes this union was never tied.
This love is lie.
Such wonderful writes…kudos to all…made it back for a quick one…been a busy day/week! 🙂 :love:

SHIMMERING SPLASHES OF FALL
Uniquely Autumn,
shimmering splashes of Fall,
mirrored reflections,
rainbowed brushstrokes all,
as they don their autumn garb
of royal crimson and gold,
one leaf at a time,
as they dance across the pond.
And I marvel once again
at the canvas I behold,
Autumn’s brilliant reflections,
shimmering brushstrokes
dancing across the the pond,
delighting my senses as they do.
And they capture my attention,
these brilliant
reflections of Fall,
filling up my senses
as they infuse
these waters of the pond,
afternoon breezes
caressing my heart
in the peace and calm
of an afternoon
so silent and still
as Autumn dances
upon the water,
evening shadows
beginning to fall.
(c) barbara kausteklis 10-14-11
All such gorgeous reflections of Autumn. Eloquent and brilliant each one.
Hello everyone, I just popped in to send greetings and to say what a beautiful blog and theme this is!
There are some lovely poems here and I congratulate you all on these fine writings!
Best wishes all!
Jon
A fallen star,
Fell from your heart,
And landed in my eyes,
I screamed aloud,
As it tore through them,
And now it’s left me blind,
The stars, the moon,
They have all been blown out,
You left me in the dark,
No dawn, no day,
I’m always in this twilight,
In the shadow of your heart,
And in the dark,
I can hear your heartbeat, I try to find the sound,
But then it stopped,
And I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became,
The stars, the moon,
They have all been blown out,
You left me in the dark,
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/cosmic_love.html ]
No dawn, No day,
I’m always in this twlight,
In the shadow of your heart,
Ooooh (x8)
I took the stars from my eyes,
And then I made a map,
I knew that some how,
I could find my way back,
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too,
So I stayed in the darkness with you,
The stars, the moon,
They have all been blown out,
You left me in the dark,
No dawn, no day,
I’m always in the twilight,
In the shadow of your heart,
The stars, the moon,
They have all been blown out,
You left me in the dark, (you left me in the dark)
No dawn, no day,
I’m always in this twlight,
In the shadow of your heart,
MM-2011
