Leaves Floating On The Pool

They ride along and caress the side

There are a few floating together

They go where they please

I see a giant heart form

As they ride the ripples of water

They come together 

And they quickly disappear

You can see underneath them

All around them

No one cares that they are there

Except for the one that is looking

They move along not caring where they go

Free from law, rules, and entrapment

They aren't bound by the box of society

They stay as long as they can

Unnoticed by the hurried man

But if you'll stop and take a moment

They speak to you as nothing else can

But in a little while

They will be swept away

And maybe perhaps 

Thrown away

By the hurried man

But for a moment

In my day

They spoke to my human soul

The leaves floating on the pool

So far Sis, this one is my favorite, I really like the "hurried man" very cool. In the second stanza, last line, I would use the word dispersed instead of disappeared though, it's a touch stronger and fits with the rest of the stanza. I think. But this is very good...!

What an interesting way of seeing leaves on a pool. I personally liked that the poem transports the reader to a whole other world. It's a very honest poem, too. Nice job. I just wanted to point one thing out: the beginning was a little weak compared to the rest of the poem. My suggestion is making the third stanza the first stanza instead. Other than that, good job.
