Falling Off the page. Falling Into me. Words Flowing free. Escaping Naturally. Drifting Like a leaf The wind carries me Across the words to reconcile Terra firma shroud’s beguile, Holding words in gathered pile Awaiting de-composure. Fallen From the tree Fallen Into me. Escaping Scrutiny. Gathered leaves' hyperbole Oil – from earth, From leaf, From bone, From earthen death, From blackened loam – Enlightens lamp That brings me home. I grasp the words That swirl and roam, And stir them Into compost poem. [This message has been edited by iliana (08-07-2004 05:36 AM).] |

 jo ~I was swirling like a leaf as I read down the page! There was so much movement in your words as they tumbled into a most illustrious pile of poetic compost!  Have a glorious day! Love ya! Linda  |

You're kickin', jo! This was absolutey great! I love the whole concept. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Jo, I wouldn't put this on the compost heap but then again, compost nourishes so - what's a gal to do?  Enjoyed! |

Sounds like the circle of life... Compost is filled with living organisms, just like this poem is filled with the living substance of your soul enjoyed --------ice ><> |

Yep, that was the word that I was looking for...Garbage....NO, just kidding....yes a compost heap...Now...this is versatility. Imagine me telling a friend that I know a gal that can write very eloquently of a compost pile? Flipping a coin....Heads is yes, Tails is no.... Sheesh! |

Nice bit of recycling, this. Well done. Personally, I have notebooks full of words fit for composting only. |

Agree with Toe, the title was the clincher, but trust me, I will trade you my compost for yours any day. Nicely composted Jo |
