Autumn leaves, Fall trees

Autumn leaves, Fall trees

Leaves of autumn fall
Crunching under feet
Carpeting the street
Each one has its call

Each drop of leaf
Recorded somewhere
Identity it has
Known somewhere

Crushed under foot
A purpose it served
Some shade it gave
Somewhere

Colour of each leaf
Unique and blends
Its position unique
In space and time

The picture complete
The dot per inch
In the life of a tree
The leaf has a special role

The vivid yellow, red and rust
Give joy before they turn to dust
The waning sun at dusk
Shines on falling leaves.

Fall trees
Shed leaves
Each noted
Record posted

Gave shade
Of all shades
Red, rust and yellow
Underfoot crushed
