The Autumn Leaves©2021TonyFallon0805
No more are the leaves alive on the autumn trees
As the daily heat goes down slowly by degrees
In autumns past it happened it is now routine
The nice green summer foliage has lost its sheen
The birds who sang so sweetly as if in contest
Have since flown away and no longer use their nest
It is now seen in the branches almost unworn
Reminding us in the spring they may well return
The canopy that shielded while the female hatched
Will soon be jettisoned finally unattached
To be tossed through big fields or the valley beyond
Or join other leaves in the bottom of a pond.
