Array ( [sid] => 115325 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Leaf Alone [time] => 2006-02-24 13:09:25 [hometext] => When you look outside and the leaves around you fall.. stop and think about it.. they are dieing too. [bodytext] => Ripped from its home,
Tumbling down the road,
Surrounded by trees,
Seeing its fellows clinging,
Brown, yellow, all decaying,

All rolling along with no control,
Soon the rakes will come,
And then the snow,
Sending us this way then that,
Our destination always chosen,

But never by us,
Put into a heap with our fellows,
After the fall of the rake,
Metal teeth ripping through us,
Squashed into a bag,

Into the dark release of black,
Poured out after an eternity,
Left to rot,
Left to die,
Then comes the rain,

Soaking us,
Some of us are lucky,
Sheltered beneath our fellows,
Soon the sleet falls,
Little worse than rain,

Causes no damage,
Then comes the hale,
Smashing through us,
Cutting us to pieces,
Finally comes the snow,

Beneath it we rot,
Spring comes,
The snow melts off,
On the ground one alone,
A single Maple leaf,

Almost gone,
Almost decayed,
Almost dead. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 27 [informant] => MysticFireFairy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )

A Leaf Alone

Ripped from its home,
Tumbling down the road,
Surrounded by trees,
Seeing its fellows clinging,
Brown, yellow, all decaying,

All rolling along with no control,
Soon the rakes will come,
And then the snow,
Sending us this way then that,
Our destination always chosen,

But never by us,
Put into a heap with our fellows,
After the fall of the rake,
Metal teeth ripping through us,
Squashed into a bag,

Into the dark release of black,
Poured out after an eternity,
Left to rot,
Left to die,
Then comes the rain,

Soaking us,
Some of us are lucky,
Sheltered beneath our fellows,
Soon the sleet falls,
Little worse than rain,

Causes no damage,
Then comes the hale,
Smashing through us,
Cutting us to pieces,
Finally comes the snow,

Beneath it we rot,
Spring comes,
The snow melts off,
On the ground one alone,
A single Maple leaf,

Almost gone,
Almost decayed,
Almost dead.

The circle of life. We all are born on the backs of the dead. The essence of life cannot be refreshed without it.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. ©
