We are all the same size inside
We are all more
Celebrate small moments
Thankful for people
Children do grow up
No power tonight
The leaf is proud

A Poem for Raking Leaves

by Rob Hueniken on Thursday, November 12, 2009

My Twitter friend, Mike Todd (miketodd07), was out raking today, and sent this tweet:

Raking leaves in the sunshine, listening to Owl City on the iPod, thinking about poetry.

So I wrote this poem on Twitter:

Leaves & sun, together,
sounding crisp & smelling soft,
like earth and summer memories,
fallen but still remaining and reminding.
