Tree of Hope

She watched in childlike wonder

As hope fell from the trees,

Honeyed sanity swirling

On a tender autumn breeze.

 

Most glittering and golden

In the vanishing sunlight;

Some still painted crimson

No strangers to great plight.

 

They nestled in her hair

Showering her with earthy grace.

And as her fear melted away

Humbled tears adorned her face.

 

She danced that night with nature

Beneath the pumpkin harvest moon

Her demons left un-slain,

But the trees all whispered, “Soon.”

I loved the scenery you created, such pretty colors of autumn. I can see a girl swirling around with the leaves falling around her. Everything seemed to flow smoothly and the rhythm creates a nice peaceful tone.

Good Job

The way you worded things made it so easy to imagine this in my head, and since your writing is so creative and different it's such a unique thing I love autumn so it made it even more cool. I just loved each line
