An image of pupils outside the gates;

Bright blown leaves beneath a tree.

This is a solid piece of writing

Next time I would delve a little deeper into your metaphors though, think of something a little less common than leaves Darlin.

Enjoyed reading you :)

Your right, it is too obvious. There's a poem by Ezra Pound, called In A Station Of The Metro. Its a real gem and I guess, like that, I wanted to try and distil a very simple image into something meaningful in as few words as possible. The Imagist trick - Pound uses petals to describe faces on the underground, but its really haunting...
I'll keep at it. Thanks for the commentary.
