2012 April PAD Challenge: Day 11

Author:
Publish date:

For today's prompt, pick a season (any season) and make it the title of your poem; then, write your poem. For instance, your poem might be titled "Winter" or "Spring" or "Rabbit Season" (if you have a sense of humor and like Looney Tunes cartoons).

Here's my attempt:

"Autumn"

even leaves
pretend they don't care
releasing
from their trees
and letting the wind take them
wherever it will
