Nice job of capturing the moment, the illustration is a crisp image and lets us visualize everything described in the poem, it lets the mind 'wander' right into the sight that we have all seen, nice work, good luck.

Gust of
wind blows (place another word)
single leaf snaps off tree
drifting slowly down, floating through
cold air
you don't need the capital letters expect for the first line.

Your cinquain poem follows the syllable count correctly, but is very plain in its description. I would hope to see more vivid word choices to illustrate colour or movement. 'drifts' is good.

Also your phrases seem disjointed because of the need to have a precise syllable count. The worst affected line is 'wind blows - single' where 'single' really belongs with the next line.
