Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves

Project Overview

It is a small poem That will be going over a comic I drew. Simple and easy! You will be credited for narrating!


This is the entire poem :


When autumn was a little girl, she would grin from ear to ear

But from her crooked teeth, people would laugh and sneer

She would hide and cry, behind a bush, where no one could look on and see.

And she would weep, the same old words, “Why must I be ugly?”

When she grew up, she changed her teeth, but her scars would not get better

So she would hide her smile, behind a turtleneck sweater

One day, a boy came across her sitting upon a bench alone

He asked “Why must you hide your face” and from her mouth escaped a groan

“Because,” she said, from beneath the knitted thread

“I might as well be dead,”

“But why,” he said, shifting closer to her, “I wish I could see you smile,”

She thought about the old childhood days where she would grin for a mile

“Not now, not ever, never again,” she said, holding back tears

“My teeth were rotten and now they’re fixed, but my heart still holds the fears”

He grinned at her, pulling back the threads, and eyes gazed just above her chin

“So beautiful,” he said, as her cheeks turned red, “I cannot turn away,”

“The most beautiful teeth I have ever laid my eyes, would you please let me stay?”

And so the girl with the gorgeous boy, began to talk and laugh

With or without her crooked teeth, she has found her other half

And through the autumn leaves

She can finally smile like a child
