Winter Fool

Winter's earliest fool,
last leaves that cling to the tree;
shall too someday fall.

I love this - like a lesson to the leaves who do not heed that winter is coming, and don't leave the tree!

Awesome. Yes, some of those leaves hang on for a long time. I sense a double meaning. Love, Shar
