Notes About The Poem

Created for the contest "Micro Poem Poetry Contest" offered by Ink Empress.

Leaf

It's not flowery or deep. 
A solitary, myriad reminder 
    of the infinite circle of past and present.

This poem uses the image of a leaf beautifully to convey the simple, yet profound, idea of time and continuity—how a small thing can be a myriad reminder of the infinite circle of past and present.
