Why do we call Autumn Fall? To me fall means to land on the ground when you really didn't want to be there. But drop means to land on the ground because you wanted to be there but you didn't want to make that extra effort to sit down the normal way. I think the Autumn leaves WANT to be on the ground. I think they put in a hard year's work and are ready to take a nap for the next few months. I think they fling themselves off the branches saying, "Hey, look at me! Look at what a beautiful shade of red and orange me and my siblings are! Look how gracefully I flit to and fro while making my was down to the ground. I'm so happy to be here and even happier to know that people are looking at me and admiring my beauty and agility." And if you got close to the ground you'd hear the leaves that have already dropped saying, "Hey! Look at us! Gee we really wish someone would come by and put us all in a big pile so some small person could jump on us!" I think the red, orange and yellow leaves are very very happy. The green leaves are very very jealous. I drove by a tree filled with yellow leaves today and they were all waving at me and jumping up & down on their branches. The green leaves on the next tree looked pissed. I love Drop!
