How sad it is

A leaf
Falling from its tree

A wave
Lapping on the shore

The sun going down
On another day

Not caring for you
Anymore

You know, it can be so easy to dismiss a short poem like this. A quick read and then off to another. But even though this poem speaks softly, it speaks with a pathos that is uncommon among today's would-be poets. Way too often a person feeling some degree of despair will over-write his/her feelings and then deliver a very bad over-long poem to some forum. This is just not the case with this poignant verse. Short, tart, and full of impact - it's a winner!

i like very much, the passing of time, the sentiments shortly and sharply expressed, there is always harmony in your writes...For this one you expresssed  it was sad but I could have considered the same happenings with happiness...Thanks for the delicious poem.
