Let’s read the poem carefully and answer each question one by one.
---
First Question: What is the season?
The poem talks about leaves falling, changing colors (red, yellow, orange, brown), and wind blowing them around. These are all signs of
autumn (also called fall). Leaves change color and fall off trees in autumn.
✔ So, the season is
autumn.

Second Question: How are the leaves falling off the branches?
Look at these lines:
> Little leaves fall softly down
> Whirling, twirling round and round
> Falling softly to the ground
Also later:
> And sends them dancing to the sky.
So the leaves aren’t just dropping straight down — they’re spinning, swirling, and even dancing in the wind. They fall gently and move around as they come down.
✔ Answer: The leaves are falling
softly,
whirling,
twirling, and
dancing in the wind.

Third Question: What would be a good title for this poem?
A good title should capture the main idea or feeling of the poem. The whole poem is about little leaves falling in autumn, moving beautifully in the wind.
Some possible titles:
- “Little Leaves Fall”
- “Dancing Leaves”
- “Autumn Leaves”
- “Whirling Down”
But since the first line is “Little leaves fall softly down,” and that phrase repeats, it’s probably the best choice for a simple, clear title.
✔ A good title:
“Little Leaves Fall Softly Down”
