“Keep an empty pocket

When you’re on an autumn stroll

For the wood is filled with treasure

And the trees are trimmed in gold

And you may find that you’d like to keep

A gilded leaf or two—

So keep an empty pocket

And bring autumn home with you.”


Laura Jaworski


“Against a canvas of greenest hue

A little leaf knew what to do

She’d waited and waited her whole life through

To fly


And in a gust of freedom

She lifted herself to the sky.”


Laura Jaworski
