I discovered the Wordy 30 form, a spin on the game Wordle, from an Inkling challenge shared by Margaret. Trying to write a poem in just six words is challenging enough, but each word can only contain five letters. I found this poem in a photo I took a couple of weeks ago. Signs of spring were all around, but here was this lone fall leaf in the middle of the sidewalk.

brown,

(Note: I don’t know what kind of leaf this is, but maple has five letters!) This Photo Wants to Be a Poem is a weekly feature at Reflections on the Teche. For my National Poetry Project, I’m playing along with the poetry calendar created by Margaret and Molly.
