I Watched You Fall

I watched you fall
so gracefully,
like yellow sighs
among the trees,
red silent notes
in harmony,
orange vestiges
of summer's memory -
and as you fell
near to the ground,
your final rest,
your journey bound,
I gazed up to
your empty trees
to witness them bow,
most reverently.

that I would change! Simple clean, and most readable. I needed this! Thank you for the breath of clear, cool air, like Autum is supposed to be. ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thank you, my friend!

For sure, their falling is a sign they're ready for a renewal. A very short and beautiful poem. I like autumn season.

The trail is green yellow and orange. The oaks haven’t yet turned burgundy. The black birch are always the first, then the sassafras

They’re just slowly drifting down
Just like the poem says,

Amazing job,
Tim

It sounds like you had a wonderful walk! Trees are our oldest, dearest friends.
Thank you!
