Today
In still air
The last tree
Is giving up its leaves

It seems
In such a hurry
This final falling down

One would think naturally
It would wish to take its time
A one by one
Slowly letting go

And yet this rush
To join the rest

To merge anonymously
With all the others of its year
Already lying on the ground

In smaller circles
A single swan
Glides upon the freezing lake

Gray skies
The days grow shorter
By the hour

It must be lonely
Being last

Ah hah, but the rustle of leaves skirting her and there are a pretty sight to be seen.
I suppose all the elements is what make up the seasons.
So many variations and so much beauty.

I really enjoyed your November poem.
