This poem was inspired by “MOUNTAIN Senryuor Haiku series 022021” Written by: Anil Deo - who received poem of the day 14th November 2021 Instapoetry If leaves on trees revealed poetry What a harvest there would surely be Ripe fruit of the poets forestry In truly tasteful variety……. Pick a leaf anytime and read it You will never be disappointed It is code-named as instapoetry Poems are grown worldwide constantly. Snap off a leaf when passing a tree It may inspire writing poetry If you are a poet wannabe It may be the best thing you could see. Poems are dreamers sweet melodies Happy, or sad should achy hearts bleed Poetry knows that it's time to leave When it's fall and blowing o'er the breeze. 14th November 2021

You know, Belle, this is so pure and pristine. All I can say is read the leaves, and --- Show me the money! lol. ~ Starving Poet

Gershon, have you not heard there’s nothing in the pot for poets, we’re a hungry lot, we give our all and what do we get, not a jot. Thanks Belle

Hi Anil, sadly my Poet-Tree is wilting, my husband is very ill in hospital, so I will not be around much for a while , will just look in now and them until life is back on an even keel. Thank you Anil, keep your Poet-Tree growing… Belle

So many read tea leaves - after they have had their tea!

Thanks you Rico, it’s surprising what tea leaves reveal, after tea is drunk of course… Belle

We do need inspiration to write our poetry. I seem to be in a rut, with so many aches and pains.. But next time I see a tree, I'll snip off a small leaf. Who knows? I might be lucky. Hugs.

Take a leaf from of a tree, find healing in poetry. I hope you feel better soon Victor, I’m in pain too and have been since before covid, it’s in my right shoulder and down the arm, to top it all I’ve now got toothache. Thank you for comments and listening to my woes… Hugs, Belle

beautiful Belle; wow, if we could inspire each other in a chain of living-giving leaves. Love "instapoetry" which is your INVENTION, then? All round kudos, but I did ponder this deep line about healing/leaving: "Happy or sad, if achy hearts bleed Poetry knows when it's time to leave/" shalom shalom and congrats on Instapoetry (& many thx for Soup mail) Inspires

Hi Anil, I am so pleased you approve of this poem inspired by you. The “Happy or sad” I just meant poets write about either of these, perhaps I should make it clearer. As for “Instapoetry” it’s not my invention, I wish it were, I just came across it somewhere out there. Thank you for your reply and of course for the inspiration, without it this poem would not have materialised…. Belle

Great idea. May even replace reading the tea leaves. Cheers, gw
