to catch a leaf

 

I run

 

to catch a leaf

 

 

 

it falls so slowly

 

 

 

 

 

 

almost taunting me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is it laughing?

Perhaps there's a modicum of snickering going on here Joyce. Enjoy the chase. Your friend in words, Pete

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Pete. Hope there's a smile on your face tonight, Pete. If that leaf doesn't quit laughing at me he's going to be in that pile of leaves I'm raking up for mulch! Have a very nice evening.

Love this and the title is outstanding Joyce. It caught me...

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Jack. Your reviews always make me smile. Hope you are smiling, too. :)

Great personification of the leaf in this one, Joyce. You have the talent to convey a beautiful image in so few words. I enjoyed this one. Lydi**

Thanks, Lydi. That leaf better stop laughing at me or he'll end up as mulch! lol Thanks for your very nice review, I do appreciate your words very much.

The spacing works well with the emotions here. The scene speaks of itself and I love how you question the falling and the taunting of a leaf. The last line made me ponder upon the humor of nature. Interesting. :x

Guess people must look pretty silly to other world denizens. Why run when you can float leisurely down on a nice soft air current? I really appreciate your reading my poem and leaving such a nice comment behind, Blue.

I could feel you running after it with your clever spacing. I love the personification of the leaves.

Exactly ! They can tease and evade but all the more rewarding when you do catch one!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks for such a great review, Tom. I can tell you're an experienced leaf catcher. Happy autumn!

[Tom]

I am indeed Joyce & the same to you !

[Baby Ricochet]

Ha! I like it! I know the trees think I'm a riot

[Joyce S. Greene]

Well, they're not the only ones, BR - I do, too, and when I spoke to my plants this morning they told me they thought you were pretty droll, too! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me your laughter, you always inspire me to think funny thoughts, and I love that!
