Gert W. Knop Poet Haiku

Eichenlaub/Oak Leaves/ Hojas Del Roble

Sanft fällt das Eichenlaub
Jetzt noch langsam im späten Herbst 
Vor ersten Winterboten

------------------------------------------------


Softly falling oak leaves 
Now slowly before late autumn
Before first winter's message

-----------------------------------------------

Suave caída de hojas de roble 
Antes del primero mensajero de invierno
Aún  al fin del otoño

Sara Kendrick June 6, 2010 at 12:16 PM Get the feeling with this one of peace and gentle drift of the leaves to earth...Keep the descriptive and expressive pen flowing..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on so many of my poems...Glad you like the one about "Marlin Monroe" we ate there on our vacation....Sara
