Ode

Autumn leaf

Your organic texture

All in a unique variety of colors

The beautiful sight you establish like a magnificent picture

This time of year you are easily found

The crisp, the crunch sound.

With your curves and sharp shape

Your lines, rhythm and movement

The bold impression you create

Yet at the touch so brittle

Size doesn’t matter, even though so little

Your colors of red and brown

Represents your determination

That you will not stand down

To show that life is not something to waste

To live each day and not live in haste

You’re raked, picked up and enjoyed in

With the constant fun you bring, we don’t know where to begin.
