Last Leaf

Last gullible green leaf
clings smug to fragile fulcrum,
rustles, shudders in pale sunshine,
fights ruddy rush to fall, spinning,
to rest mellow on untidy forest floor.
Subliminal message: Time is short

  5. I love the way you worked the words and lines. A real attention getter beginning with the gullible leaf and ending with the message. Love this.
