Mulch Ado...

A withered leaf falls,
abandoning the cold perch
that has sapped its strength.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires. -Khalil Gibran

I was smiling at the title before I even opened the poem...
and then, of course, the gravity of the poem
lifted me up...





Well done, sir!

Well, aren't you just a ball of "Sunshine!"

Thanks, Sunshine, you just made my day!

Of course, I'm assuming that you found the puns amusing...?

Thanks to you, too, vandana.  And a smiley back at you!     Two, in fact!
