Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Weaving Its Way

A leaf weaving its way
    down a flowing stream
  skitters windswept 'cross
    an autumnal lawn

  Once detached from a twig
    its life far too brief
  teasing undying belief
    ~ as green turns to grief

Tom Cunningham November 3, 2022 at 11:34 AM Shame I haven't a stream nearby oh well, pass the rake. Tom Gershon Wolf November 5, 2022 at 8:01 PM By now, perhaps you need a shovel for the snowflakes. (Hope not). ~ gw

L Milton Hankins November 3, 2022 at 8:44 AM Nicely-written, gw. I think this is such a compelling theme for this time of the year.

Unseeking Seeker November 2, 2022 at 8:15 PM Perchance the leaf may then ask ‘to whom does grief come, for I am not that’ Gershon Wolf November 2, 2022 at 8:45 PM Shakespeare is smiling at you, Seeker. GREAT comment! Thanks, Gershon

Jeff Kyser November 2, 2022 at 7:53 PM Getting kinda deep there! Gershon Wolf November 2, 2022 at 8:45 PM Well, it's poetry, after all... Get out the shovel and the bucket and get back to work! lol. :) gw
