About the Poem
I was inspired to write this poem because I once lived in a house surrounded by many huge oak trees. During autumn, there would be leaves falling all day, throughout the season. I watched my own children hold their hands up in the air in an attempt to catch the leaves as they twirled around in the slightest breeze. It was their own game, easy and fun.
To Catch A Falling Leaf |
| by Leonna |
| The season has changed from summer to fall Leaves drift slowly off the trees so tall They are gold - brown - and red - and green What a display of colors to be seen My hands reach out as my eyes are focused on one red leaf Its descent directly at my waiting palms; then to my disbelief Swoops back up, winding, swirling, twirling, and spiraling - to the ground Quietly, playfully, teasingly without a single sound After a while, I must stop to rest And look at the tree almost bare, undressed And wonder in silence, will it shiver in the winter wind? |
