About This Poem

Subtlety

the earth is brittle under heel

in quiet little ways

though leaves are bragging

with bravado 

we are watching autumn fade

    Nicely done Carrie! I love 'brittle...little,' the alliteration of 'bragging...bravado,' and the ways...fade off rhyme... super job!! Best wishes, Keith :)
