the Life a Leaf Leads Leaves Little Left to Lose,
Losing Life, Letting Loose, Lancing Labor Leniently.
Which is Why We Wonder, Who Would Want to Wither(?),
Without Warring With a Weighty Wrong.


The author's comments:
When I wrote this I had an idea for a new type of poem. One that consisted almost entirely of words beginning with the first letters of each word in the title. Even more than just an attempt at a new type of poem, this poem is meant to show that a leaf does so much in its short, quiet life, and to question why we shouldn't take a *leaf* out of their book, pun intended!
