Notes About The Poem

- a Voluntary Fall -

Convince me with every heartbeat
                          Share with me how you love the fall
                              Don't let me drown in my grief
                                     when summer is over

                            My footsteps creak in colorful leaves
                        Yellow, orange, red, purple and burgundy
                         Dressed in a beautiful dress of recycling
                               A tribute to the Autumn Queen

                                         Don't push me ...
                                         I fall volunteer

Even if they didn't before, they will come to admire the 'Autumn Queen' after this piece of writing! I love autumn already, and your poem, too :)
