Written 8th October 2026 ... theme from This Week's Poetry Art Challenge:October 5, 2026 - October 11, 2026.
Picture is my attempt at Poetry art. I think my leaf is better. Thanks to William the Concreter.
Autumn unbuttons the afternoon, loosens its gold along the lane. A leaf comes down without a sound and lands inside last night’s rain. I used to press these little flames between the pages of a book, believing something bright would stay if only I refused to look. Now copper gathers at my feet; the branches open to the grey. I leave the fallen leaves untouch ed and take the long way home tod ay.
