The Leaf Of The Poplar Comments

Simply amazing. Though, I believe the translator, or whoever posted it, has made an error of grammar on the eighth line.

It is remarkable how a poem will just reach out and put its hand around your throat and make you gasp at its beauty and its truth.

There is an uncontrollable drifting, a yearning, an unknowing - all encapsulated in one leaf's wayward journey. The images throughout summon a deep solitude.

Trembling shaking leaf ends its journey in a sought after unknown. Beautiful poem.

Seems a ship is like the leaf of a poplar because the sea is so big and the ship is so small; so many reasons why It trembled so, ... It trembled so.

Wow! Can't leave this page just for this poem. Wonderful!
