Leaves

Leaves leaves oh
little leaves
where do you plan to go?
For I see you've put away
your green summer dresses
and are dressed from head to toe
in tones of red and yellow.

Oh leaves leaves
oh little leaves
where did you go away?
Away they went so pretty
and bright out of sight away.
They went with the wind
to dance and play.

Away with the wind away.

Greer Kernan's poem 'Leaves' was an entry in the Andrew Hardy Youth Poetry Prize 2022.
