The Last Leaf

As the leaves take on the autumnal hues,
Ushering in the fall, the end of year,
The red and gold it seeks my inner eye,
Until my soul fills with a quaint nostalgia.
My heart gives of a part, with the winds of change,
Now I surrender all to winter's blues.

Really beautiful words..
I read this about thrice but am not sure I interpreted it in the right manner.I am a bit confused about what it is exactly supposed to mean; will comment again once I make up my mind.
Anyways, good going!!

'Now I surrender all to winter's blues'
nice line...
I didn't quite get 'my heart gives of a part'
Nice, short one! somehow i got a feeling that there was something amiss, though i can't say what.
cheers!

The hues of the blues,
The nostalgia of the nose,
In autumn's frost
Or winter's cold;
It quakes my heart,
It quacks my duck,
It splits like quarks:
That's just my luck.

Sorry, I was just riffing...
