as the leaves fall it makes a sound to my eyes

every post holds a lost glove whilst I walk and there are shadows of wooden sign posts casting on trees I don't know how that would make them feel for all the shadows hold an echo and the leaves tumble and some spin to the piano notes I just heard everything really is ok maybe I can't stop a leaf mid flight to prolong the beauty but I can remember it and be there and present for the next time

a lovely title and so apropos given the nature of your poem. I loved the imagery, especially 'the leaves tumble and spit to the piano notes I just heard.' I can truly envision that sight..I, too, sometimes wish I could stop falling leaves mid flight. This poem was elegant and flowing, nicely done! Enjoy your evening, Sara

This is such a beautifully written verse dear DD with such a lovely title too. Such imagery and it’s so captivating. It draws the reader in and makes them feel like they are there with you to feel and witness the surroundings. ‘ For all the shadows hold an echo’ ‘ and the last few lines in particular really grabs you. Such a stunning, thoughtful piece. Loved it. A real pleasure to enjoy. Thank you. Hugs and smiles to you xx:):)

Thank you for such a delightful comment Christina, it's so kind of you to share how you felt about the poem. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it so much. It's a frosty day today and every breeze caused dozens of leaves to fall like confetti, it was really beautiful. I'd just listened to some piano music and it was still kind of playing in my mind, so gave a beautiful inaudible but present soundtrack x
