A Single Red Leaf

     When I was raking leaves on Saturday, I noticed that all of the leaves on the tree above me were either dead or had fallen off.

                       All except one, that is. 

        All except for one, tiny, brilliant leaf, just hanging there, trembling in the wind,struggling to hold on.

 

My camera wasn't on the right settings, so the picture isn't too

great, but that's besides the point.

    I wanted to write a poem about the little, lone leaf, but when it

comes to writing, I only accomplish about one out of fifty of my ideas.

It's not a problem, though because I have lots of ideas.

I found this to be a very good thinking topic.

What do you think of this leaf?
