Hold me Not



So fragile hand of nature…
single leaf catching
from burning tree
predicament leave of fall
bookmark between heart plates
manipulative hats
wore when performed as master
in sumptuous vibrant feast.

Now vacuous, in blurry vision, dissolved…
whose fault…leaf turned violet…
please, slather the air on my shortbread.

  29. Thanks for your interest in my story verse for the Sunday Whirl.
    It all started with a pencil drawing... you can find that on the main story page.

    Nature feeds the soul as well as our bodies. I also like that 'heart plates.'

    Autumn starts tomorrow, my favorite season. :)
