Today is the first day of autumn.
The foliage is changing colors,
soon the leaves will fall.
But which leaf will fall first?
Who will be the first leaf to leave
the tree branch where it once was held?
The chlorophyll is slowly waning.
Soon the clouds will begin raining.
Green yields to orange, red, and brown.
They will no longer be photosynthesizing,
but they will still be metamorphosizing.
Decomposing its nutrients into the top soil.
Today is the first day of autumn.
The foliage is changing colors,
Soon the leaves will fall.
