Notes About The Poem

 

Withering Leaf

withering leaf

   cascades on its thin ribs...

      draped by pearled mist

Very descriptive work..I enjoy looking at dew drops or raindrops..Thanks for dropping by..The banana nut bread was in the oven before the fly appeared..Oh!! We enjoyed the bread..My blood glucose had dropped to 70 so I had to eat a slice while it was hot hoping that it was going to bring my sugar back up...I had reached the feeling that I was going to pass out..Sara

Lovely poem, sounds cool I love autumn the leaves so crunchy and colourful, you have talent to write in all forms of poetry, mine is simple, but I like my child like faith, Thank you for your kind comments on my poem if you were the only one, I have also written it as lyrics, worded slightly different and put it on you tube, People are viewing so God is at work globally reaching out to others, I was so blessed when I got the message if I was the only one, he still would of came for me,
