Leaf Blowers

Where once in fall, the air was filled

With such a special smell,

That burning leaves aroma

Which I loved, as you can tell…


Today, instead, we have the sound

Of blowers making noise,

Which I would bet that not

A single living thing enjoys.


The leaves, once raked and burned,

Now sit in piles to cart away

Or else get spread around, where they

Will, in the future, stay.


I miss the scents of autumns past 

And crackles of the flames,

Preferred to the incessant drone

Each blower loudly claims.
