for those who would autumnfallleafcherish


I really enjoy raking leaves on a bright fall day. This weekend was great for moving leaves and watching leaves move. As I watched the wind choosing individual leaves and sending them on their way to dry and die, I was reminded of a poem by e.e. cummings that I used to share . For those who like the fall and like alternative poetry, this one's for you. If you look carefully, you will see this little verse is a case of form (shape) being content (theme).

It's interesting how Charles Schulz and Snoopy looked at a similar leaf differently.
