Make Much of Something Small by Nolcha Fox


Cori Emmalea Rodriguez

 


Make Much of Something Small


The crunch of leaves that fall,

once green, then yellow,

quickly dry and crumple,

 

love notes lost to coming winter.

How quickly gusts denude the trees,

to leave them shivering in the wind.

 

Leaves don’t complain. 

They turn to mulch

to keep the garden warm.

 

They know new leaves 

will show again when winter

melts to sparkling spring.
