Deciduous

red
leaf
flutter
in the wind
clinging to your branch
majestic evergreens look on,
unshaken by the season's change, wait to see you fall



My son's third-grade teacher introduced us to Fibonacci poems on a field trip.  My son was more interested in the numbers, and in drawing pictures of his subject.  I hope he'll find some words, too.

  3. I first read this left justified. Very hyperbolic, I thought. But center justification is nice too.
