Naked As A New Born

Rating: 5.0


Naked as a New Born

It is November
The Fall has just fallen on the roadside
And snow has started falling
From the tall maple deciduous sky.
I wish I were the orange brown leaf
That has lost its foothold on the birch.
But, lo, I am the tree
Bereft of all its abscissive leaves
Naked as a new born.

A beautiful depiction of autumn. Without foliage, trees are still beautiful. Love the comparison to a new born.
