One leaf <br />On the tree <br />Turned <br />Yellow <br />Before all. <br /> <br />One leaf <br />Was eager <br />To say <br />Welcome <br />To fall. <br /> <br />One leaf <br />Clung to <br />The tree <br />Ready <br />To fall. <br /> <br />One leaf <br />Took the lead <br />To make way <br />For others <br />To fall. <br /> <br />With great <br />Interest nature <br />Watched <br />The arrival <br />Of fall.<br /><br />Tirupathi Chandrupatla<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arrival-of-fall/
