loved this from the title 'Last Leaf Standing', loved the simplicity of sweet rhythms, loved the struggle of leaf life; there was an old movie where someone was dying and thought they would die when the last leaf fell from the vine clinging to a wall, but an artist painted the leaf on in the night, this poem reads like a moral parable, with grit character refusing to be defeating by problems adversity or storm 'slings arrows of outrageous fortunes' wonderful 10+
