The
Fall
The once vibrant
with life
The once
green, open full to catch the sun
The once
high, holding up the sky
Now a
golden bronze of slumbering death
The tips
are curled as if burned
The wind
stirs the branches high
The once
secured looses hold
A dance
of spins and twirls begin
A quick
spin slowed to a float
Lift and
fall, rock right then left,
Until the
fallen comes to rest
lie prone
in death, among the rest
Once protector
from the sun
Now a blanket
for the ground
Even in
your death you shelter life

Hello Everyone;
ReplyDeleteYou will probably notice that this is not my usual style, so here is the deal.
I am getting serious about my poetry. I love to write it, it feeds my soul. So I bought a book to help me learn how to write poetry. The book suggests exercises and one exercise was to write a Whitmanesque poem using free verse describe something chaotic. This was my attempt.
How did I do?
Fantastic! Absolutely LOVE IT.
