Dancing Leaf
 
I was sitting on my deck outside
Staring into an area of woods
When I spotted a lone leaf
Dancing from a limb where a tree stood.
 
It was spinning and turning
In a rhythm all its own
Like a beautiful ballerina
On stage all alone.
 
Today I saw that same leaf
Still practicing for its debut
Swirling to the wind song
As if somehow it knew
 
That I was watching.

I love this poem as I wasn't expecting it to end this way!
A lovely description to tell us that it is all there, for us,
to appreciate.

Your name came up along with a photo, and both were poetry friendly. This title caught my eye, and I'm glad I read it. You take a simple interest item and make a gripping spotlight for the reader to enjoy. That is good writing! I hope to be back for more. - Bill

Oh, Jeanette, what a wonderful new approach to the old adage, "Stop and smell the roses"!

In "Dancing Leaf," you give life to this inanimate object waiting to makes its debut, something that more of us should do if we want to broaden our horizons and make life count for more than idle days of existence. Here you are telling God, "Yes, every part of your act of creation is spellbinding and awesome to view, if we would but look."

As a very senior old man, I loved "Dancing Leaf." So will my great-granddaughter"!

With love and respect,
Richard

Fallen Leaf was a workmate's grandmother's name.
I can see the leaf. Happy writing.

Jeaneete, I like how you described something that many of us never take notice of or just take for granted. How much better our days seem when we take notice! Beautiful writing.

What a very nice poem, Jeanette . . . You painted it with descriptive words so that I felt I was sitting there with you watching the dance of the leaf . . . I truly enjoyed this little take on Mother Nature's wonders however small it was, it was magnified in your and my eyes because of this wonderful depiction of it . . .

Watching the leaves dance is refreshing. Whenever the wind blows it's like a breath of fresh air. You have created great imagery and wonderful feeling! I can envision that dancing leave and feel the breath fresh air in my face.

A beautiful poem indeed!

Sounds as if you really enjoyed watching that little leaf dance. I too enjoy nature but just don't look too much at the trees.

Lovely. I can picture this and will pay more attention the next time I look at a tree. Well written, Jeanette.
