Poem (of the Day? of the Week?)

Well, I haven't exactly written much lately, at least not on this blog.  But I have been writing!  And I hope to renew my ability to write poetry, so here is the first poem I've written in a long time.  Enjoy!

Leaves on a Summer Morning

They flicker

sending sparks of light

dancing in the air.

Luminous

Translucent

Bits of emerald

shiver in the wind.

A kaleidoscope of green

makes patterns against the blue.

And then--

The wind dies down.

They slow,

Floating,

And are still.
