By John Ortman
Leaves in the wind
Blown and scattered,
Whirl in a spiral
Turn in the air.
Leaves in the wind
Dance and frolic,
Crackle a song
Across the lawn.
Leaves in the wind
Circling downward,
Fall softly to rest
To earth once more.
John Ortman, a retired federal program manager in teacher professional development, lives year-round on Chappy.
