O Stubborn Leaf Poem by Hm. Nes

O Stubborn Leaf

Rating: 4.5


Alone, suspended high above the ground,
On barren limb, defying season's change-
O stubborn leaf! Was I to winter bound,
Was I a hapless slave to winter's rage,
I'd set aside this ghastly rake,
Climb your bough and give it a shake,
Bring you down to where broken leaves are found.

But in my heart I share your stubborn hold,
Resisting winter's scourge upon the trees.
I cherish fall, the brilliant days of gold
And red, such colors dancing in the leaves,
Not fading brown from winter's freeze,
Falling, rotting, filling the eaves,
Till every trace is buried in the cold.
