Times I’ve Mist

#2 of 6 At the moment. I am learning what is edible out there in nature. I am kind of certain this one is. Though, don’t quote me on it. If you die, it wasn’t my fault. This is for the Falling Leaves Challenge.

Mist, damp. Thunder boom!

Wind rustles, the golden loom.

A slow twirling fall.

    Leaves and what not falling during a storm. Those berries are for the birds for real. Good job.

    Cool shot, I’m in to foraging too! No idea what that is though, but it’s an interesting plant! I liked your poem, felt bold— especially for the contrast of thunder booming and a Leaf falling.
