I watch the remaining leaved on the trees bounce around in the wind, their shadows following their lead. The sun is shining, ignoring any clouds it can possibly hide behind. The clouds look like they have something building up inside of them, that makes them look gray and dark, looking like it will rain any second. I enjoy the feeling of the wind and how it gently blows against my face, and how the sun warms up my back. I pick up a giant leaf lying in the grass, thinking, this leaf was on a tree, bright green, beautiful, and now its old, crunchy, and has holes poked through it. I imagine that leaf being picked from a tree, and used as a fan to shield the person holding it from the burning sun. I drop the leaf, feeling a hint of coldness in the air. Looking up, I see the sun, which instantly hides behind the clouds, which it ignored just a minute ago, and the clouds are about to pour all the rain onto us, the outdoors, everything. The sun hides in the heavy, gray clouds, which are now spilling out all the rain, and looking at how peaceful it is, just looking and listening to the beat of the rain tapping against everything it hits. The rain outside not only gives the outside a refreshing feeling, but my mind feels refreshed as well.

That is awesome. Love your description
ReplyDeleteLovely, Abby! Not only are your descriptions wonderful (I love this: "I pick up a giant leaf lying in the grass, thinking, this leaf was on a tree, bright green, beautiful, and now its old, crunchy, and has holes poked through it.") But also the thought behind them, the introspection about fall and the leaves, are all really nice. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the sun and clouds acting almost as characters in this slice. Your descriptions are vivid and personal!
