Leaf

Slowly, like a whisper it touches the ground,

With a soft kiss to the grass there's something found.

A great secret which was lost but now is here,

And all those who can feel it know that it's near.

They know what you do not, so what is this thing?

It's the end of summer and that empty swing.

It's the breath of life slowing down and sleeping,

A time for celebration not for weeping.

But do not weep for something that still has life,

With this extreme sleep there is always that strife.

An ongoing battle to which there's no end,

But there are two points for which they make amend.

You want to know the truth of which must be told,

The secret you want to hear is made of cold.

It's the time when days are short and nights are long,

It is the fall my friend which sings a sweet song.

seasons, you're are a poet who captures nature in ways that only few can,
but this is better because you instill a sense of sentimental value that
balances the imagery, like this line, although all are equally impressive
"It's the time when days are short and nights are long,"
the beauty of the writing is its trasporting effects, the way you take
the reader away, if only for a moment, the theme is uniquely
invented, and captures a shadow fall, awsome job krystina, such talent.

MKan how simmilar leaf is to my poem the fall of life and the devils thoughts to those i wrote in the devils due

[Justin Tobey]

Again, the flowing, rhyming rhythm was flawless. The descriptions were nice here as well, and I liked these lines;

You want to know the truth of which must be told,
The secret you want to hear is made of cold.
It's the time when days are short and nights are long,
It is the fall my friend which sings a sweet song.

It adds that hint of Winter that adds the subtle frostiness to Autumn. Well done!
