Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Tercet

The Scent of Water- a Tercet

One leaf left on tree
No undue unhappiness
Always in great spree

One leaf left on tree
All by itself in the airiness
Feels never lonely or retiree

One leaf left on tree
It spends itself as it sways
Breathing with utmost glee

Last leaf not the end ever
As its time comes, collapses
New buds sprout by the scent of water

The poem is in the form Tercet (Three lines Rhyme scheme aba, cbc,dbd, ebe). The form is not available on PS so I have posted it under rhyme.

Theme:  Renewal
Form: Tercet
Contest: The Scent of Water by Faye Gibson


**The poem is based on the real scene I saw two days back from my window. 
I have taken some snaps and small video. I remembered the story The last
Leaf by O Henry and was inspired to write there and then.
*** Inspired by O Henry's short story The Last Leaf **

Andrea Dietrich July 24, 2014 at 8:05 PM you were inspired for this one, Dr. Ram. That is so great when we see something from nature or even something manmade and we can relate it to a contest theme or a story and do a poem on it. Congrats on your well deserved win.

Theresa Stephens July 24, 2014 at 3:17 AM Hi Dr.Ram, This poem made me think of the last rose of summer, which one often sees still struggling to survive when all others have died before it. Enjoyable read. Congrats on your placement. Regards Theresa xx

Andrea Dietrich July 16, 2014 at 11:24 PM this is lovely, Dr. Ram, but check out her rules again. I believe she says to do rhymed poems. Good luck to you! (also you need to include the title of the contest inside the poem and put it as the title of the whole thing). Hurry while there is still time!!
