Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

Scented Leaves

Grey green crescents fall so lightly 
flickering softly in early morn 
pungent scents waft all around me
a soothing balm for the weary worn. 

Reams of silvery leaves are spun
growing abundantly down under
rows and rows of eucalyptus trees
are filled with medicinal wonders. 

Strong scented leaves help and heal
easing pain within body and soul
bringing comfort and relief 
nature’s gift for my heart to behold.

Joseph P. DiMino November 13, 2019 at 8:58 AM Wow! Perfectly beautiful. You make old language new, fresh and alive. So much written today is strained with adjectives. Also brilliant sense to the poem. Really intelligent. Love it! Laura Leiser November 13, 2019 at 12:54 PM Thanks so much, Joe! I wanted it to have a simple, rhythmic feel, too. Glad it came across okay. :)
