The beauty of the changing of leaves

Autumn Leaves

Green leaves,Yellow leaves,
Red leaves, and brown
Falling,
Falling
Blanketing the town

Oak leaves,
Maple leaves,
Apple leaves, and pear

Falling,
Whispering,
“Autumn’s in the air!”

Big leaves,
Little leaves,
Pointed leaves, and round,

Falling,
Nestling,
Carpeting the ground.
