This poem didn’t make it into the book due to it not being finished in time. It will certainly make an entrance when the next book of poems decides to appear. Initially, I don’t know why I wrote this, but eventually I realized I wrote it for Wildflower, one of Tom Grossi‘s many characters. (IYKYK).

I hope everyone can enjoy it.

Little Leaf

Little leaf 
Flying through the air 
Without a care 
How does it dare
Coming from a tree so bare
Dancing away without a care

Little leaf 
Fall’s arrival means Winter’s grief 
She steals joy like a thief 
Over and over like a motif 
Spring and Summer in disbelief 
How could you ever leave

Little leaf 
Oh dear, now you’re gone 
What will we do to carry on 
What will we now gaze upon
A lovely picture artists have drawn
(Might make us feel a little less withdrawn) 

Little Leaf
Though the way you left was a little bit sus
Don’t forget to visit us
Haunt our dreams to confess
The location of your new address
So we can send wishes for your journey’s success.
