Raintree 1 The Wind and the Leaves

 Summary – The Wind and the Leaves

The Wind and the Leaves is a poem about the change of the seasons from summer to autumn and then

onto winter. The scenery described in the poem reflects this change of seasons. The poem talks about

how the wind and the leaves seem to talk to each other. The leaves change their colour from green to

red or orange. The poet feels the leaves are putting on their jackets, just like the people. The wind then

blows through the trees, whistling. The force of the wind blows the leaves down from the trees and the

trees slowly dance to the ground. The gentle movement of the leaves and the wind are beautifully

expressed in the poem.
