Autumn Leaf Sonnet

Karyn Indursky

Shall I compare thee poetry to leaves?

Thy leaves art more fragile and pretty.

When it opens to let butterflies land 

thy leaf habitat is thee perfect place

for shading from sun's rays in high demand

amongst ladybugs sharing with pure grace.

Thy treasured paradise becomes fan

for thou Queen Bee expects grand leaf mission

when baby bees art her servant day plan

letting be thee clear blue air condition

Thou green leaf slowly begins to crumble 

for its use wilted the delicate skin

nature and far more useful than poetic mumbles

upon thy face shall be wearing a grin.
