They still are leaves <br />They are brown leaves <br />Still hanging from a tree <br /> <br />When they fall down <br />They still are leaves <br />Brown leaves on the ground <br /> <br />And when they're gone <br />Lost to the wind <br />When they become <br />weightless and transparent... <br /> <br />They still are leaves <br />That once were all colors <br /> <br />© 2010 Sonya Florentino <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Notes: inspired by a stanza in the poem 'October Sky' by Sierra Scribler where the writer wrote how autumn leaves are like 'paper skeletons waiting to fall to the ground'<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/brown-leaves/
