Tease
by Mary Ellen SmithI see a leaf fall
In slow motion
turning gracefully in the summer breeze.
a little brown and tired,
it leaves the shade of the green canopy overhead
and lands on my windshield
but just for a moment.
and I frown
at the tree
who teases
a change of season. 08/17/2007 Posted on 08/18/2007
