The magic Of The Leaf

a leaf

fell once on

my chest while under

a tree I was taking a rest

 It tickled a ripped-apart heart,

that's brimmed up with grief

  in brief, never belittle  

 a fragile essence even

if a brittle

                                                                                                 leaf

This is so tender and real. The formatting is brilliant, not something I ever consider. Nice job throughout.

It means a lot to know that you like it. It took a pretty good time to shape it and do all the alignment things and so, and I won't let the shape overtake the message between the lines.
Thank you for your time. Much appreciate it.

I wanted ens as a lighter synonym for the word entity. I might not be the best choice. Any suggestions?
The over all meaning is not to belittle even tiny things or creatures

Loved this, thanks for sharing it. Big fan of poems that really distill feelings down to their bare esence yet say all that is needed to feel.

Best

Hello, Rula,
This is gorgeous - in shape and poetry. I especially love the way the final leaf rests on the ground. Beautiful.

I even like your comment more than my piece. You're so generous and kind.
Thank you for everything dear.

Everything about this including the creative formatting. You never fail to impress me with not only the elegance of your poems but how you are not afraid to try new things with them. Well done.
