POTD: Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leavesby Leland B. Jacobs

Green leaves,
Yellow leaves,
Red leaves, and brown,
ALL   Falling,
ALL   Falling,
ALL   Blanketing the town.
Oak leaves,
Maple leaves,
Apple leaves, and pear,
ALL   Falling,
ALL   Whispering,
ALL   “Autumn’s in the air!”
Big leaves,
Little leaves,
Pointed leaves, and round,
ALL   Falling,
ALL   Nestling,
ALL   Carpeting the ground.

from: Jacobs, Leland B. 1993. Just Around the Corner: Poems about the Seasons. New York: Henry Holt.
