I made this up a long time ago...Ok, maybe last year. :P

Millions of colors
Millions of leaves
It is so beautiful up in the trees


So what do you think? I know there's not much to say about it since it's so short...

I agree that it's very small but dispite this I still had an image in my head of standing at the base of an autumn tree-trunk and gazing upwards through the branches at all the coloured leaves, so it got the desired effect I think. :D Well done.
:blueorange: Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yummm!

It is so beautiful up in the trees I think this ending line could be a bit better. It's kind of awkward with the rest of the poem and the stresses in the rhythm don't really flow with the words.
Nice imagery for a three-line poem. The only thing that was off was, as I mentioned, the last line.
'People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff.
I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy...

...and I keep it in a jar on my desk.'
