gracefully, red, orange leaves float down
at a sea pumpkin, Autumn's gift
she peers at passing schooners
from the depths of the sea
jewelry sparkles
dolphins follow
merman smiles
happy
soul

Author Notes
Thank you to poetstar for this fun project. Oceania is a mermaid pumpkin, I am going to change her tail. This is dedicated to my husband John, without his guidance, she might have looked like a sea monster. The nonet is a nine line poem beginning with nine syllables, eight syllables, seven syllables etc.
