Autumn Leaves /Poulter's Measure

Autumn leaves drift slowly Interacting with breeze That caresses and coaxes down To land upon soft knees Where they decompose so Early spring plants can grow Up and greet baby deer and birds Gives life, happiness though (This is a form of Poulter's measure. It is 6,6,8,6 with second and fourth rhyming. When you add the first two lines equal 12 and the last two lines added equal 14.)
