Fall is my favorite season
Because of the leaves
The turn orange
And yellow
And red
And every shade in between
They say no two snowflakes are the same
Neither are any two autumn leaves
They fall
And drift
Slowly
To the ground

That leave
That come and go
Their colors change
Like humans
And in the winter they fall
But they always grow back
And always persist
But the fall
Is their best time
The time when they begin to fall
And as they do so
And they are so close to death
They unleash their true beauty
Colors like fire
For the world to see
And as they fall
Their yellow
And red
And orange
Remains dramatic
And prominent
Even still
And on the autumn ground
Slowly trodden
By children's boots on their way to school.
