Float
Some people
will call fall 'fall'
until the very end-
I call it 'float'
'cause that's what the leaves do
as they descend.

I like the idea behind this one, however I very much hate the repetition of the word "fall" in the second line. I know that for me it would read better if you had written it: "Some people/will call it 'fall'/until the very end"
Because in the second stanza you wrote "I call it 'float'" and not "I call fall 'float'". So to me it makes more sense to call it "it" both times.
And yes, I am aware of how hypocritical this comment is :P

I like to think I am...but I'm probably not. More's the pity.
You might want to delete this poem and re-submit it with the correction. Since this is a short poem, that one word makes a huge difference.
