I WAS LEAF ON TREE

I WAS LEAF ON TREE

I was leaf on tree I use to dance in the sun light when the wind would blow,
And when it rained I got wet but the sun would come out and dry me out
And It would  warm me up, Then came fall I  was never the same agin I changed colors,
And fell to the ground and the wind blow me all round, Then I changed colors agin,
I turned brown when I fell down, Then winter came and I know I never be the same,
It snowed and it covered me up now I am frozen under the snow, Then spring came
And sun came out and melted the snow and dryed me out and then along comes a
human and rakes me up in pile with no smile then puts me in machine and grindeds me 
up in to mulch and puts me in the garden with the rose and viotets and tulps  
Now I will stay every day in the garden I was a leaf on tree.

Dear Greg,

The Spring Leaves of Splendor
Once verdant and green
Now have changed color
Raked and thrown in machines

.
Turned into mulch
To nurture a rose
Once such beauties themselves
Till the snow then them froze

.
Love,
Larry xxx

The personification of things found in nature always adds an element of depth to any piece, Greg.
To think of yourself as a leaf, pirouetting and dancing around in a crisp fall breeze, is an outstanding analogy and creates a vivid image in the eye of a reader's imagination.
And yet, this single leaf becomes much more than just another crispy, crunchy dead thing decaying on the ground in the end, doesn't it?
