Five 17-Syllable
Leaves on Water Poems
1
From a
distance
Leaves resemble
hands
Comforting bodies
of water.
2
When winter
comes to kill,
Straggling fall
leaves
Dive to ride
the lake’s currents.
3
Leaves on
water—
What stories
to tell!
Autumn cleanups?
Gretel leaf
crumbs?
4
Jack leaves on
water
The floating
after-dinner plates.
Football’s calling.
5
In the storm’s
aftermath,
Leaves coursing
the waterways
Sing, “We’ll
be back.”
