When the Leaves Speak is a collection of fall-inspired poetry that takes you on a journey through each month of the fall, exploring the sentiment, nostalgia, whimsy, cozy and haunting sides of the season.
From the first signs of September to the shadows of October and the quiet fading of November, these poems explore the many feelings that autumn awakens. Childhood memories, changing seasons, love, loss, nature and the supernatural all find their place among falling leaves and crisp evenings. Some poems are warm and nostalgic, bringing to mind childhood Halloweens, familiar places, and simpler times, while others wander into the darker territory, where the woods feel a little deeper, the shadows whisper, and the lines blur in the ancient folklore of the season.
When the Leaves Speak is a celebration of autumns gone by and autumns to come.
This is a book for those who have felt the magic of the season and believe in it.
This book is a reminder to slow down and listen for that time when the leaves really do speak.
