And life, but now they decompose and wane.

A poem on the life cycle of the green leaves, as compared to the cycle of nature. The same honor of being selected as the 'Member Poem of the Day' for the last consecutive three years (or perhaps more) on the same day, does not seem to show a good piece of judgement from the PH Selection Team. I find many better poems than this on this site, almost everyday.

Story of life nicly put together in this beautiful poem. Today what is green and standing tall will not be there tomorrow and this will continue the cycle of the life via birth and death of everything that once born. Fantastic poem 10++

For Life halts as fate wields her unbiased winds, And death covers the land in shades of black.............................. a strong structure to fix the reader whether a brain his/her own to settle.

The trees stood tall in their armor of green, Questioning - in rustle - even the breath of God, But today they lie alone - humbly unclothed. Nothing in this world can survive mortality. Thank you and congratulatio

The cycle of nature working on decay of leaves due to fall and reemergence of the foliage in it's season giving the beauty and aura back to trees beautifully portrayed in this deserving poem of the day. Congrats.

One wonders whether the standard of this poem warranted another Poem Of The Day. Good imagery. Not tight enough.

The poem nicely reminds us of the age old adage that 'Change is the Rule of Nature'. Everything is subject to change and so the 'humbly unclothed' trees will regain their glamour of green cover. Thank you, Leslie. The trees stood tall in their armor of green, But today they lie alone - humbly unclothed.
