Suicidal Papaya

I, pretty texture
On the rising tree
Roofing through the Puffs:
A blue float

O, insane leaves
Dangling at the end of life's plank
And yet their sad joy heaves
Flowing through the breeze

My, o my
Did they suicide jump
Winding on the bed
Of sleeping lumps

Dear Papa
You better tell mama
That lazy brother
Wasn’t bothered to use a gun

What a clever take on the fall of the leaves making the "suicide jump." Very creative and a great image, Sajdah! Love, Carolyn

Thank you for your comments on "Twilight"..and if you are writing these poems about things that have occurred in the lives of your friends and loved ones who are unable to express it...they have an amazing person to tell their stories in wonderful and unique poetry...Patricia
