Leaf

Leaf
Drifting
Slowly down,

Life’s ever journey
Toward the ending knell
Quite meaningful metaphor,

“Comes the time for life-laying down.”

Jenna Logan Date: 5/31/2022 12:24:00 PM Brief or epic, Milt, your poetry always has a message worth reading. I haven't seen this contest. I'm playing catch up. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/31/2022 12:37:00 PM I had never heard of this "triangle" poem, but it sounded kind of neat, so I gave it a whirl. It's hard to come up with something that fits the form and makes sense. I hope I succeeded. I know you can!

Marco Chies Date: 5/31/2022 11:27:00 AM Brief and beautiful, a great little poem, no doubt. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/31/2022 11:29:00 AM Thanks, Marco. I'm generally a very wordy writer, so it's difficult for me to write these brief forms. I appreciate your thoughts on it.
