Thank you Dolly. I must admit that when the wind blows dead leaves along the sidewalk, the sound makes me cringe. I appreciate your thoughts on this one, my friend.

I love your poem - it really grabbed my attention! The way you described the cold winds and the dead leaves was perfect. I thought this was so creative. It's short but packs a punch - I really enjoyed reading it!

You have done an excellent job of focusing on SOUND in this short poem. We can easily hear those "raspy, dead leaves" being pushed across concrete by the wind. That last line really sharpens the image. Rod
