Ah Pop
How I miss you—

Acorns falling
Through autumn leaves

this short write spoke volumes to me...how the smallest things can conjure the strongest memories...how that while we're busy remembering, life just keeps moving on...needless to say, enjoyed...

I enjoy the link you create between acorns and your father, the fall of acorns symbolize the ineluctable ending and shortness of life....This is really good.

I'd already scheduled a cemetery visit for the weekend...  your words punch right in the gut/heart/center of missing.

Beautiful poem, John.  Whilst, I am sad for you, simultaneously, I envy you.  I wish I missed my parents. I understand the title very well.

John,

From tiny acorns mighty oak doth grow.
