The Journey of the Leaf
A haiku about earth and the beauty of nature
The proud little leaf,
Waving on the hands of trees,
Reaching for the sky.
...
Until seasons change,
Your rich forest colour fades.
Gone with a rustle.
...
You float in the wind
And return from once you came.
Enriching the soil,
...
Nourishing the ground,
Laying on a bed of friends,
A life so profound .

Take Me With You
I've been here, my love. Watching, waiting. I've wanted to come to you, but I can't seem to break free of these wrought iron bars. You must have looked upon my face at least a hundred times these last few months, yet your face never once lit up for me. Not the way I know mine does for you. It's like you didn't recognize me anymore.

This had me waxing nostalgic with the first line, dreaming of the beautiful autumns I loved as a child. This is SO well written! GREAT poem!
