Vitality of a Leaf

answer to leaf challenge

In the wind they fly without destination,

Dancing with a spirit so free and simplistic.

Resting on grasslands and cobblestone paths,

Piling like hilltops of kaleidoscopic shades.

Beaming tones of auburn, glistening with gold,

They showcase a rainbow of colors so pure.

Their texture spreads music beneath wandering feet,

Crunching with a pulse to the drumming of a snare.

These beauties of nature, so careless to troubles,

Falling from trees with new journeys each moment.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm meditations on a falling leaf ...nice ;) i live in a forest of red and white oak, ponderosa pines and red cedars ... the leaves pile up high ..the other day i happened upon a lowly armadillo snuffling thorough those leaves ... completely at ease with my presence (i actually got close enough to scratch is armored plating) you poem just re-reminded me of him... :)

I thought this was a lovely poem. I've always found autumn and the falling leaves inspiring.

Beautiful poem dear Poet.
"These beauties of nature, so careless to troubles,

I love the Fall. The leave change of color are lessons. Everything must die and know rebirth. I liked your description. Create good visions and thoughts. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Your descriptive imagery is as beautiful as the fall leaves themselves. A lovely reminisce for me as I try to get through this seemingly never-ending NY winter. Enjoyed!

I never thought of leaves as free, but I guess they are more free than you and I.

I used to feel bad for the leaves. I used to see them sadly when in autumn they would fall. It was like they were scattered dry and left to wonder the reason for it all. But slowly I realized that nobody was to blame for this. Seasons change, and we grow with them. Amazingly written. Reminded me of my innocent days.
