Motes of sunlight tease
As they pierce the bamboo blinds.
"Come. Come out," they taunt.
The scrape of rake on gravel
And leaf smoke tell the true tale.

(Disclaimer: Who burns leaves in 2008? Especially in a county that levies fines for burning wood in one's fireplace on designated Spare The Air days?  That said, I am old enough to remember a time when leaf burning was the norm - and the image is far more period-appropriate than the equally evocative burnt dust smell my gas heater emits during the first burn of the season. Now get over your green self and chill, 'kay?)

We burn leaves ^_^ its fun to play with fire!!
.. everyone in the subdivision does it... but living in a subdivision in the middle of corn fields in the middle of Illinois makes a difference..
