Array ( [sid] => 50145 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Leaf [time] => 2004-06-02 17:53:46 [hometext] => there is more or less a moral here. No matter what has happend you can always go home. I've sorta been threw some parts of this. The thorns mostly. Well tell me what you think! [bodytext] => By gentle wind and by chance
Leaf was freed from the branch
And floated slowly and danced divine
As the tree was left behind

It slowly fluttered in the wind
Laughing softly as the wind did send
Gust by gust and blow by blow
In the air the leaf did flow

Finely the wind did die
The leaf fell from the sky
For the ground in made a dash
And hit with a roaring crash

Its world of dreams turned to ash
It was over in a flash
Left to silence upon the grass
It was forced to watch the world pass

Soon the leaf was dead and grown
It wore upon its head a crown
Of sweet thorns that held it by its hair
And drained it of beauty and that was fair

The wind picked up and off it went
With a tear of a life now spent
It landed softly by the tree
And it grew dark till it could no longer see

The Leaf

Topic: StoryPoetry

By gentle wind and by chance
Leaf was freed from the branch
And floated slowly and danced divine
As the tree was left behind

It slowly fluttered in the wind
Laughing softly as the wind did send
Gust by gust and blow by blow
In the air the leaf did flow

Finely the wind did die
The leaf fell from the sky
For the ground in made a dash
And hit with a roaring crash

Its world of dreams turned to ash
It was over in a flash
Left to silence upon the grass
It was forced to watch the world pass

Soon the leaf was dead and grown
It wore upon its head a crown
Of sweet thorns that held it by its hair
And drained it of beauty and that was fair

The wind picked up and off it went
With a tear of a life now spent
It landed softly by the tree
And it grew dark till it could no longer see

brilliant piece.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
