#raking
Repeatedly, I have gathered you. And yet you still fall, **** leaves, you're like a floating fault! Killing me softly with your incessant grin; Endlessly gloating: "I've got more where they've come from!" Declares MN as she blows her windy, willowy waves of air through the trees; nice breeze but... "Come on, give me a break!" I shriek.

Raked
Stepping onto leaves thinking of raking them later Ocean of dry leaves posing the question to her Where would you start, pretty miss of yonder How would you finish it all before dinner Oh I'd start way back in the south corner Where the old cabin shed stores the rake Thinks she of her afternoon's tedious chore Wishing that she could set the piles on fire Alas, it's dreaded to have outdoor fire For fear it would burn down more than you desire Back where I'm from that would be campfire Here I'd better bag'em for easy transfer Stepping onto leaves thinking of raking them later Ocean of dry leaves posing the question to her Where would you start, pretty miss of yonder How would you finish it all before dinner
