Herbstblätter/ Autumn Leaves/ Hojas De Otoño

Fallen im Wind wenn der Herbst sie müde macht am Baume. Durchsichtig, wie Stücke aus Glas, ruhen sie am Ufer des Flusses, haben ihre eigene Sprache. Und, wie die Nachtigall ihre Lieder dem Wind anvertraut, so erzählen die Blätter ihre Legenden den Wäldern. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Falling with the winds if autumn makes them tired in the tree. Transparent, like pieces of glass, when they rest on the shore of the river. They have their own language. And like the nightingale entrusts her songs to the wind, the leaves take their legends to the woods. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Caen con el viento, cuando el otoño les decansen en el árbol. Transparente, como piezas de vidrio, reposen en las orillas del río, tienen su propio idioma. Y, como el ruiseñor confie sus canciones al viento, así cuentan las Hojas sus leyendas a los bosques.

So eloquently written Gert :) I enjoyed the comparison you used here-- somehow those skeletonized leaves pop to mind-- I find them very beautiful-- frail but beautiful nonetheless-- I hope that you had a great week & wonderful visit -- :) ingat! nikko :)

Good Morning, Gert! LOL,, no the science poem was a poem. I thought of with my science Nerdy friend, in whom I love so much.. I had fun composing that poem. it put smiles on my face. Only because i am a science freak to. And I look like a nerd with my glasses..And people think I am nerd sometimes.. Thank you for your comment....LeeAnn

Excellent usse of personification, giving life to the leaves, Gert. I can see the leaves falling so vividly in your words. I especially like the last line: "leave take their legends to the woods." That is where the leaves decay and become part of recycling nature again. Excellent poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn
