Broken Leaves

Leaves litter the covered ground
Brittle, crunchy, and crisp leaves
They crackle under your feet
Leaves of the torn life

Russell, so much said.. you could be referring to leaves in general or to someone's life that has fallen apart.. I love this write of yours. Hope your Sunday is a good one ;) love Wilma

very descriptive write, russell... the tonality of your phrases brings a crisp feel to the whole verse... love the ending-- a real poignant surprise, my friend... marvelous!..:)
