poem challenge: Great Artists

Wind and Trees

The wind says 
come. 
Let me brush the leaves off your shoulder 
and have them f l u t t e r in the breeze.  

Let me beautify 
your decay 
and send your colors
spinning 
     
      to

the 
     
      ground.

    This was beautiful! I love the way you spaced/sized the words so purposefully. It definitely added to how it was read! :)

    Thank you! The size and spacing was very deliberate and I'm glad it made a difference
