What do you think of my new poem, be honest?

The strength of this piece lies in it's touching upon our fudamentally interconnected nature. Its weak points lie in the somewhat over-reaching, and pretentious nature of some of the metaphores(i.e."photosynthetic" light) the somewhat discordant use of rhyme, and also the rather choppy metre. I find your use of the passing of the seasons to track the progress of our hero (the leaf) to be potentially usefull, but a bit weak in it's current form. The first stanza is far and away the strongest of your efforts. Keep trying...
