Subtly Brown, A Poem and FOTD

No flare for me,
Just a subtle retreat,
Into the worlds of brown…

Don’t need to be,
A color so sweet,
No need to be like a clown…

Yet here you see,
Still look pretty neat,
So smile, don’t give me a frown…

And quietly,
I will feel complete,
Accepting this small renown.

This leaf type simply leaves brown once the chlorophyll has left. Still has a bit of texture and serves the same role, hailing of the coming winter.

Thank you for reading and have a great day!
