I am in a tree.
I see kids.
Birds fly above me.
I fall down and land on an ant.
I hear a train from far away.
A girl picks me up,
then she throws me on the ground.
The people step on me a lot of times.
I am the leaf.

A delightful reflection of “The Leaf”.
You have captured so beautifully the observations in writing.
Well Done.
Great use of personification here Jasmine.
Well done!
