Poem Artwork


... winds are mourning out of the north,
a banshee wail howling for the
end of Autumn.  What leaves are left
struggle to hold on; another
one falls in a silent tribute
to strength and resiliency.
Having survived through storm and flood,
they are no match for Winter's breath ...
and so they let go, one by one,
with a last dance for the Season.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (12/15)

That's simply exquisite. I love the brevity, the quiet intensity, and the appeal of the living images. Wonderful work.

...still thoughts...perhaps the voice of Winter's breath...music for the ballet for Autumn's demise.
I like this one Karla.

My dear Karla, you have the gift of capturing so much in so few words.

I would be honored if you might save just one more dance for me.

I suppose winter ( for Florida) has marched in with tornadoes in Pasco county and a dip of a few degrees. I miss the cooler temps at Christmas time and I miss my family in Georgia.

Merry Christmas and keep warm.
Love and blessings!

It is always amazing the transforamtion of fall directly into winter especially up here in our Northern climates where snow covers all.

Whether the weather is withering or writhing, leaves are leaving, the last surviving, verse-inspiring. --Charlie

Your description is filled with sensory stimulation. Nice work.

very nice-i think this could be metaphoric-the art of knowing when to hang on and when to let go

Life, whether or not it is human or plants have a destiny with death. With plants, i.e., trees it isn't really a death, it is more like purgatory . . . Human death is much the same if you are a believer . .

Some leaves are determined to hang on as long as possible; they can teach us about courage! LOL Yes, winter HAS arrived with a vengeance; goodbye spring temperatures! Ah, such as weather here in Texas! You never know WHAT it is going to do from one minute to the next! Very well penned; try to stay warm, and don't blow away! BRAVA, Karla!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twink, Karen Lynn. :D

We had that Last Dance quite awhile ago up here, and it always does sadden me a little. But with any luck, before we know it, the Circle of Life will begin again next Spring.
