Go now but I'll lodge here
under eaves of copper beech
twisted canopy of colours
rhythmic limbs atremble
kaleidoscoping secret summer lie ins
a spangled mosaic, upwardly mobile
go now and let the thousand-and-one falling leaves
litter me deep in wintry sleep
Whimsygizmo has given us leaves in all its meanings to kick around for this Quadrille #15

go now and let the thousand-and-one falling leaves
litter me deep in wintry sleep
Seems to be a tinge of sadness in the prospects of seeing leave but told in strong hints!

correction: …of seeing him leave but…

wistful as autumn leaves but never to let on the full impact 😉
Whew. There are some INCREDIBLE word choices here, Laura. I am in awe. Just wonderful.
many thanks – could not leave this prompt alone though not very prompt with response – enjoyed the literal and the word associations too
One of the cool things about the Quadrille is that it’s open all week. 🙂 And that we can post more than one, if we want! 44 words is so fun to write, and so easy to get around to read and enjoy.
GULP! just realised I’ve aimed for 55 by mistake this time – Not going to shed any words so perhaps it’s makes a Quinrille?! 😮
This is so evocative…..the wily eyes, the thousand and one leaves, the wintry sleep to come. Sigh.
twinklings in the leaf canopy just like the wily smiling eyes of a seducer Sherry 😉
Loved these: “kaleidoscope of secret summer”, “limbs trembling to our rhythm
a spangled mosaic” — a piece of musical art. Thanks for sharing.
thank you Stacie – glad you heard the music here
Littering me deep… I do love that… a wonderful end, and a wish… almost like a lullaby.
a lullaby of memories to savour over winter
Such beauty inherent in your vision, Laura! Superb!
thank you Walt – as my eyes fade I see more beauty perhaps?!
but I’ll lodge here
under eaves of copper beech….. that is heavenly
thank you – that is such a good place to be transported to 😉
Beautifully evocative write ❤
as is so much of your poetry Sanaa
Just beautiful!
thank you for those words Rosemary
Beautiful use of alliteration and visual images to bring this scene to life.
Belated thanks Kerry – wistful end to summer
This month so far has left me little time for reciprocal blog visits & acknowledgements
Ah, charming! Very visual. Thanks, k.
Many thanks -Copper beech is a very visual source😀
So full of beauty this is. So evocative of changing seasons. …the twisted canopy of colours my vista kaleidoscope of secret summer lie ins…I just love this image and it so fits the photograph.
bit late catching your comment but I do appreciate your appreciation of the view from some summer loving!
This is gorgeous. I especially like the opening two lines and the last two. Stunning work.
Beautiful words mortared with the feeling of summer’s end and leaves cuddling…
Love your association between closeness of leaves to cuddles
Great use of words. You create a kaleidoscope yourself. A suitably melancholy tone for Autumn, too.
Aimed for mellow but maybe hit melancholy – thank you
