but how does one leaf falling into this green day say so very much? |

How, indeed? Sometimes whole speeches are screamed in the silent fall of a single leaf. |

Ed It is the way of things, and the people that hear them.  |

Artfully simple at first glance, and yet the complexities are there between the lines, just like the veins of a leaf. It wafts down the page most appropriately Ed. Nice job. I enjoyed.  |

It took mime lessons? Or it watched a feather fall... Perhaps it heard an angel's song... Or felt the coming chill on a long-awaited sigh... |

Well, I'll never match you with these shorties, but they fascinate me. You sometimes say a book in ten words, and I'm still hoping to do a chapter..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Ed~ Just yesterday, I sat outside with my grandie girlies and pointed out a falling leaf to them ... watching it twirl and tumble, fighting against the odds that it would end up at our feet~ Then I realized that it had a purpose in it's fall ... and now I find that you found that purpose~ Thoughtful penning so beautifully done~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Ed, I have always loved your poems. I tend to play with possible meanings of these short ones a lot. Your poems are insightful no matter how one reads them. I read them forward, backward, and, of course, in between! I agree. Seemingly simple, but with such complex design. Great to read your work again and to actually find a moment to respond. Have a great week, Ratleader. miscellanea |
