Today i bring you 8 poems on this theme (I know i said 2 or 3 poems every day, but what can i do when so many lovely poems have been written on autumn leaves and i want to catch every single one of them?). Some from this year, some were written earlier.
So here we go.

autumn riff
aspen leaves a few notes higher
than the stream
into the afterlife red leaves
—Peggy Willis Lyles
And lastly, this tanka,
What is it you fear,
now that autumn is ending?
We two still have time
to bring in the last parsley,
and rake walnuts from the grass.
