Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

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

M. L. Kiser October 11, 2018 at 7:37 AM Ooh, I luv it! The life and death of a leaf; and its legacy...to feed the next birthing leaves. Wonderful. Caren Krutsinger October 11, 2018 at 9:35 AM I saw a bit of a bitsy bite of a leaf fly by, and I picked up my pen.

Rhona Mcferran October 10, 2018 at 2:25 PM So moving... especially the part "dried and motionless now/ a brown and crumbly thing/ which had started out so hopeful". Brilliant write! ;) Caren Krutsinger October 10, 2018 at 3:04 PM Thank you my friend. I was in a pensive mood, imagining a teeny tiny wisp of a leaf, happily floating until caught.
