Take off

a poem by Purushothama Rao R

When the leaves are taken off
from the branches of trees
it is autumn

When humidity is taken off from weather
it is sulking summer

When environment has been taken off
from dry climate to freezing colds
it is whispering winter

When dried leaves are taken off from lawns
it is springing green

When poem is taken off from a poet’s life
it is an untimely sound of death
