The wind came out to try his way to blow the little leaf away he hung on tight with all his might this little leaf would stand and fight. superb poetic expression great 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I can see more of you, as you describe in your bio, than the leaf that has clung on to the tree of life in this poem. Very well done, and thanks for sharing.
Sober thoughts brilliantly articulated in a great poem. A remarkable work of art. Thanks for sharing Annette and do remain enriched.
I love this-=-I love the repetition of soulful lines, I love the progress of the story of the game little leaf- - would make an extraordinary children's book
a wonderful descriptive poem of a fragile leaf's fight for life? seems like a good advert for superglue though? ............superbly written.
Wow... This is great and motivating. I love the fighting spirit of the leaf against all odds.
My well wishes, my prayers, my love to that last leaf of humanity who faced all the odds but stood like a rock in the world of ugly and selfish men. I salute to those few men who are the saviors of the human race. who want green leaves and fragrant colorful flowers on this lovely earth. What a great poem Annette Aitken, I congratulate you for sharing such a wonderful poem.
He woke next morning to birds song he yawned and he stretched he sung away wondering what else may come his way The last little leaf, , , beautiful write by ingenuity, thanks for sharing.
Annette Aitken, Hello. I am reading a few new poets today. May I try yours too? This was wonderful. I have often found the sight of one last or just a few leaves on a tree like a tree with just one ear ring or something of that nature. Had though about writing about it and found something in your poem. Just a sweet strong story within a poem.............Thanks so much for writing..........................Blessings, Kathy
I saw that you read my poem, Flight of Inspiration, and decided to see what you write and this one is the first I read...it's so excellent, it still resonating in my head...this is a beauty!
Such determination, such courage and such strength are there in this little leaf ! Bravo you little leaf! !
Yes Ma'am, I agree with you. Today the comment box is not working properly. So trespassing into this zone for the commenting on that lovely poem. it howled, it growled it even roared the little leaf hung on so tight no storm will get to me tonight. Great bravery in the heart of so little a leaf depicted so nicely. Thanks poetess for the lovely poem shared with us. A huge and humble 10+++++ for the sharing. Regards. Subhas
