Notes About The Poem

Autumn Leaves Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Jcb Brul

3rd place

Hope


I find withered autumn leaves 
falling down floating one by one!
I see creatures deserting trees, 
once used as their safe havens!			
The bald trees that are left behind, 
appear as magnified mirror images 		
of dead leaves’ intricate venation!!
Trunks of trees transforming
forests gradually into eerie scenes,			
remind us of tombs in cemeteries,
standing upright all across!
Tree trunks, preparing themselves
for getting past the vagaries of winter,
seem eagerly awaiting spring’s arrival!
What a lesson for mankind to learn! 
Hope is the secret of survival!!
