    Nice. The shape reminded me of a kite, appropriate to the words.

    I can even smell the leaves Ruben, fall is always a time to be in love with the weather, such languid days to soak in. Lovely poetry!

    I love the connection between the beginnigng and the end Ruben..An early autumn and then the end of summer.. The leaves which get blown with the wind and then departure of someone.. seasons are exactly like life.. Hope i have still a long way to autumn :) I love staying in this world with its rain and flowers :) Lovely post as always Ru-Charma

    The shape of your poem could be a leaf and then the descriptions bring it to life. Very lovely Ruben, your descriptions of the leaves paint such a lovely picture for the mind. :)

    We often compare the years of our lives to the seasons. Very well done with good imagery here. I could see the tree standing as the wind plucks a few leaves and blows them away. God Bless, JB
