Leaf (March)


One leaf especially shaped. Eucalyptus long and pendulous to manage the dry. Poplar wavy and yellowing to march the heights. Elm broad and browning to relinquish shade. It’s the travel game of name the tree, known by form and leaf-shape. Maple star-like and reddening to resist extreme. Fig floppy and furrowed to take on water. Peppercorn fishbone and frothy to fill the space. Pine pointed and prolific to recall the forest. Oak frilly and crested to fall in droves. Acacia tapered and spindly to awaken surprise. Liquidambar airy and uncurled to brush your forehead. Not that nature is a supermarket.
