2140. about a leaf

 


two eyes and ears
oh no! what’s happened to my nose
cries the elephant 
*
like you and me
every leaf has a story to tell—
think about it



What to write about these leaves… Leaves, leaves, nothing but leaves…but wait a minute, that leaf has eyes, sad and lonely little eyes, looking down and out and in the dumps. Makes me wonder…Do leaves on trees have feelings? Do leaves feel sad when they leave their tree and tumble all the way down, all the way down to the ground?
