“Leafy Day,” Friend, Oct. 1999, 7
Leafy Day
Raking, raking, raking
all the leafy ground.
Diving, diving, diving
in a leafy mound.
Hiding, hiding, hiding
‘neath a leafy sea.
Searching, searching, searching
for a leafy me.
Crunching, crunching, crunching
at our leafy play.
Laughing, laughing, laughing
on this leafy day.
