Pieces of twigs bullet across <br />They pierce through the air <br />The breeze snatches leaves <br />The orange sky breathes through bare trees. <br /> <br />The fire burns down trees <br />Another tree is shot <br />Another tree bleeds <br />The breeze snatched burnt leaves. <br /> <br />The man tears leaves off <br />One by one they parachute <br />Their green tears rust on the ground <br />The trees are stripped naked. <br /> <br />Who said only in autumn leaves fall?<br /><br />Mehreen Mujeeb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autumn-117/
