I'm just a leaf on a tree.

leaves rustle on trees
hoping they won't have to fall
too far to the ground.

In a list

    Really nice imagery in this. Seems kind of like a metaphor for death. I don't know if you intended it that way, but a leaf on a tree in the autumn is just hanging on, waiting to fall from the life-giving stem, spiral to the earth, and die. All of us are waiting for death in a sense, and we fear it.

    Don't know if you were going that deep or just writing a simple nature poem, but it's a cool write.

    One of the better nature poems I've recieved so far in this contest. Thanks for entering.

    Very nice snapshot look at the wind through the trees, and your reflection. Thank you for such a thoughtful haiku.

    This one made me chuckle.

    I like how you give the leaf human qualities.
