Another tankabun reflecting my journey of seasons..
Hands Within autumn's hands Rests a time traveler A maple drifter Left behind by November wind Rushing to its next season I can almost feel it within my own hands, this last trembling leaf. As I stand beneath its lofty perch I hear it whisper in the wind, brittle breath against branch. I imagine its edges curled, protecting heart and soul. And I wonder why it has not let go, why it remains after all its companions have gone. I reach to touch, wishing that I could grant it freedom, freedom to drift away. But my hand slows... stops... and I cradle it, this time traveler. It would sadden me too much to hear it leave.... © mdbadgerow 2008

The written beauty of your poetry FORGETS that sight is minimal, and imagination, everything!
It is a pleasure and a blessing to read such inspired words and the picture they paint for us.

Myrna,

Such a visual and rather sad poem, beautifully written. The end of autumn certainly is a sad thing.

Marvelous write, Myrna. So much like life are the seasons and I am moving towards winter. It saddens me so to see the leaves leave.
