Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you. Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other's poems. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are: leaf, fall, turn, change, color
Below is mine:
Color the wind, as it passes me by.
Turning of seasons catching my eye,
Starting as this, changing to that.
leaves of pages past laying flat,
trying hard to share the sense of why.

Soon the north winds,
will blow in the fall,
nature will prepare to sleep,
as colorful leaves start dancing round,
just as fast as I can turn about,
I know many changes are coming my way.

leaf, fall, turn, change, color
As I leaf through the pages of my life,
I realize that with each page I turn,
how the color of my life can change,
Once vivid and bright, now dull and grey.
Hoping not to continue to fall into the darkness.
Where is my light?

I hope you find it, I'm still up and down, depending on the day

@Jessicalynnt it is becoming difficult most days to crawl out of this funk. Today is an okay day.

Falling leaves change their colors,
Turning strangers into lovers.

Such a young life then
we'd gather a leaf and its brethern
pasting Autumn characters on the front glass
turning, change upon us
we'd tape and arrange,
color, shape, transformed into people
there before,
Halloween fast approaching.
