Wandering Leaflet

veiny leaflet wisp transported on a gentle wind until she met a spider’s web lacey floaty thing imagined by a faerie king caught hard and fast dried and motionless now a brown and crumbly thing which had started out so hopeful veiny leaflet wisp disappearing totally back into the earth

Ooh, I luv it! The life and death of a leaf; and its legacy...to feed the next birthing leaves. Wonderful.

I saw a bit of a bitsy bite of a leaf fly by, and I picked up my pen.

So moving... especially the part "dried and motionless now/ a brown and crumbly thing/ which had started out so hopeful". Brilliant write! ;)

Thank you my friend. I was in a pensive mood, imagining a teeny tiny wisp of a leaf, happily floating until caught.
