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.)
