An Autumn Muse

Leaves in shades of red and gold
Magnificent to see
But since they only last one year
I'd rather be a tree

did you mean that leaves only last a season? the "year" is throwing me off here. i'm not sure I understand, except the overall general concept that the leaves lives are fleeting, whereas trees live for many years.

Yup. In my poem year equals season. You figured it out. Thanks for stopping by Susan
