Leaves of Life

 

Contest by Hiya Sharma

Foliage of Farewell.

      Alluring auburn Autumn assuring azure sky.
    Unfurling unveiling unchallenging Autumn glow in environ.
    Foliage of Withered and dry yellow leaves !
    Tender foliage in glossy texture and twinkling luster.
     Undertaking duties of shedding dry leaves as free frolic fall.
     
       Dying leaves leave branch and fall.
      Blue hue shines on sky of Fall.
     Dropping curtain on storm and rains.        
     Autumn alluring assuring freshness.
       
      Dry Foliage of Farewell  !
     Dry yellow leaves leave
      Nascent foliage 
    to glow and glaze in luster ~
       auburn autumn shines.
       to charm and whelm us.

       Deciduous tree
     leaves leaves to feel free.
     Environ on excellence.
       Nascent leaf : glossy 
       Flower bed : classy.
       Fresh fragrance flow in flora-
       Sheeny Sun-spectrum 
       as Fall - monogram.
       Auburn Autumna aura.

    Dry Leaves murmur, flowers shiver 
      on touch of Autumn breeze
          Heart-piercing passion, emerald emotion 
                 I wish to release.

            Deciduous trees shed withered leaves.
           Amazing Autumn firmly believes
                   in glossy glittered charming luster.

    Withered dead foliage of Farewell at random.
    Fresh nascent descent shiny silky foliage to Welcome
         chasing boredom.

Daniel Henry Rodgers September 16, 2026 at 7:39 AM Dear Anisha, We so often cling to outdated patterns, old hurts, or withered expectations because the fear of bareness frightens us. But your poem shows me that shedding what has served its purpose isn't a tragic loss, it's a vital act of self-preservation. Releasing dead weight creates the internal space needed for "nascent" vitality to take root without being suffocated by what came before. Amen! Beautiful work, Anisha. Blessings, Daniel
