David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

2/27/2025 for As The Last Petal Falls Poetry Contest sponsored by Sara Jama

When the Last Petal Falls

How I remember our days of vibrant youth. 
We coordinated as a team, 
as together, we unfolded our dream  
of beauty, love, and truth. 

Now, when a comrade's, gone, these visions, it recalls,
and we reminisce, softening the blow - 
but who will remember me, I would like to know -
when the last petal falls.

Linda Alice Fowler March 2, 2025 at 10:22 AM Ah, Dave. Sweet words of remembrance and remorse perhaps? David Crandall March 2, 2025 at 3:30 PM Thanks elle - I think this song by Tom Waits called The Last Leaf on the Tree was in the back of my mind - well - that's part of it.
