As simple and concrete as the change of season
We subconsciously forget to put life into perspective.
To rejoice in the beauty of the falling leaves
Dark red, yellow, orange, and brown.

The author's comments:
I hope that people will be able to understand that in life you are never in a rush. Take the time to appreciate the small things and enjoy the moment, while you can. This poem is establishes the wrong in being in a hurry. It is always good to take a step back and appreciate the beauty that is present around you.

I like this poem, although I feel like you could've expanded a bit on it. Otherwise, great job! :D
