Rain and All

Wind, as her final rainstorm gathers,
gathers up the orphaned leaves
Leaves some tucked in between the rocks,
rocks some to sleep beneath the trees

Trees, moved so by her (rain and all)
all bow and though not known to cry, 
cry now, while silvered leaves of fall
fall as they watch their Zephyr die

Hi Jan! Thank you. It was actually Nette Onclaud, I believe, who turned me on to this style but I've since run across it elsewhere. I think it's called a 'chain rhyme' but I'm not sure... Very fun and challenging!
