Creative Traditional:

[seajay]

can anyone whisper to me
softly, if you please,
the reason for the leaves on the ground?
wet and lifeless,
waving goodbye to their mother tree

as

they

fall.

swaying side to side,
their last and fatal dance.
can you hear them screaming?
perhaps they simply hum a tune.
a farewell tune.
so long, autumn.
so long.

[Bear]

such a wonderful and creative penning for the falling of the autumn leaves excellent writing CJ

I liked this poem very much - It's like one last poignant wave byebye to the bygone season... Quite a nice tone, somber, but with a lingering melody of sorts, a melancholia perhaps:

The Following Text Is Quoted:

swaying side to side,
their last and fatal dance.
can you hear them screaming?
perhaps they simply hum a tune.
a farewell tune.
so long, autumn.
so long.

It's interesting write because it's as if reminiscing before the season's truly gone... A weird stigma of sorts - but a truly intriguing write.

Thanx for the sharing.
