Writing Starter #28

1. A maple leaf

2. The maple leaf looks very old, but still firm and still holding on to life, like an old man who goes jogging every morning.  It is delicate, but not willing to give up.  It feels smooth with the occasional wrinkle here and there.  It feels dry, like your hands when you wake up from a nap.  It smells not like maple syrup on your pancakes, but perhaps a teaspoon of maple syrup mixed into a gallon of gravel.  The scent is faint, but it is certainly there.

3. Soft maple leaves litter the ground
Faint and weak, so easily torn
But when they fall, they make no sound
For to be broken, they were born
