The air is amazingly still outside The thick smell of new coming autumn has enveloped me in surrealism It’s crisp, as crisp as it was that night… A breeze gently picks up my hair And the grass sways slightly under the stars A leave flutters past my feet And I am reminded of you I remember how they said you were like an autumn leaf so beautiful and full of life in your time so beautiful and young when you finally fell off your tree I remember how they said that a leaf flying in the wind Was you on your quest to be make it into heaven I always wondered if you made it there I remember how they said to think of you when we saw the leaves swirling in the beauty of the season They said that was you guiding us in our times of need And now I sit here and the leaves seem to fall from the heavens I pick one up and slip it in my pocket…. I will always carry your memory with me ~Lisa And this little masochist, she's ready to confess -Tori Amos [This message has been edited by LCBS (09-14-2002 09:38 PM).] |

Wow! Mighty fine writing here, Lisa. Master had mentioned to me once that you're one of the more impressive of the newer members of Teen. I didn't agree with him, to be honest, before reading this. You show a lot of developed talent and communicate your emotions very beautifully here. Your closing line is executed with utmost precision. I commend you and am adding this poem to my personal library, so I can remember why I started liking you. Much praise, Parasite Learn to place poetry before people |

I'm not used to adding threads to my library, naturally, I forget to hit the button all the time. So here I go. |

Brilliant writing, Lisa! The imagery is superb and really makes for quite a wonderful read. It's good to see you can take such a simple idea and bring it alive like this. Hope to see many more from you. I'll be looking. ~AF~ "No wonder I do not make people comfortable. I am a mirror. I have far too many things to say." - Mouthing the Words |
