Means To An End

For In Tandem #9
In Autumn,
dessicated leaves
remember
a Summer
when drought was their enemy.
They whisper " Farewell!"

By next year
their scattered remains
will enrich
a seed bed
planted with their progeny
who'll whisper "Hello!"

This is for In Tandem #9, first image..

  1. I don't think that was this summer - not here, anyway;-)

  4. Wonderful Shadorma, Pen. I wrote one also and then copied Jabblog's idea and posted a video to accompany it. If you have 10 minutes watch the entire video to see the round blue pool at one point. Be sure to make a cup of tea first:-)

  7. September is here, the leaves still cling, ever hopeful, but soon they will spiral down and I shall think of this lovely image - the circle, the fall, the deep blue of it all.
