Falling leaves power point show
The document is a slideshow that uses falling leaves as a metaphor for human mortality. It describes a storm that causes trees to drop their leaves in various states of decay - young, green, old, sickly, and more. This is compared to how death takes humans at different stages of life, like the elderly or young. It encourages viewing death as a natural part of life, like leaves falling is natural for trees. The overall message is that we should accept mortality as part of nature and not see death as punishment.

Falling leaves revision information
This poem describes falling leaves from a tree on a still afternoon, which leads the narrator to think of the many British soldiers dying in World War I. The falling leaves are used as a metaphor for the dead soldiers, their numbers and beauty "strewed" across the Flemish fields. Though quiet and understated, the poem conveys the despair and grief felt by those waiting at home for news of the war. It was written by Margaret Postgate Cole, an English politician and writer who opposed conscription during WWI.
The Falling Leaves
The poem compares falling leaves to dying soldiers. The speaker observes leaves silently falling from a tree on a still, windless afternoon, without reason. This makes them think of the "gallant multitude" of soldiers lying dead, their lives wasted although not killed by age or disease, scattered "like snowflakes" across the Flemish battlefield. The peaceful natural scene contrasts the unexplained chaos of death in war.
The Falling Leaves by Margaret Postgate Cole
The poem describes a narrator riding through the countryside on a still afternoon and observing leaves silently falling from the trees like snowflakes. This simple natural scene makes her think of the thousands of young soldiers dying in their prime in the trenches of World War I. She draws an allegorical comparison between the falling leaves and the fallen soldiers, who were "slain by no wind of age or pestilence" but instead laid "strewed" across the Flemish clay like snowflakes vanishing without reason or purpose. The poem reflects on the devastating human cost of the war through this image of leaves dropping quietly from the trees.
