Red, yellow, and brown
The leaf comes tumbling down
Hugs the frozen ground

It is confusing... I might just try to re-work that line so it's better

I'm not sure either.  That's what made it a bit confusing.

I know it seems like that, but tumbling is supposed to read like tum-ble-ing, not tumb-ling. I'm not sure how to express that though.
