Leaves of Autumn Past
falling leaves
brilliant hues
scattered colours
on brown grass
as hearts
shards
broken
discarded
flower petals
strewn on coffin
on maws of dirt
goodbye showers
as love
dead
on vines
mourned
raindrops
cling on leaves
fall splash
to grass
as tears
rolling
down faces
betrayed
hush
book closed
empty pages
waiting.

Good evening
I enjoyed the pathetic fallacy of the weather reflecting the inner mood of the poem. It was interesting to read the progression of a bleaker image at the beginning to a more positive message at the end with the book and the turning of the page.
Here’s hoping your book is a good one ☀️
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Missy. Honoured. I was actually flirting with 'minimalist' poetry, if its poetry at all, and see how it went. The book...ahhh! lets hope it has something good in it. :)

This came out rather strong I think!!!
I agree with Missy, it has that strong bleakness, but finishes with hope as strength!!!
This truly looks/feels minimalist to me... definition or not...it fits mine 😁
Pen On Poetess!!!

Thats a very kind comment, Soul, and thank you. I don't know about the poetess part, but sure hope to be that, someday.

Your metaphors are fluid, adroit and exquisite. Beautifully expressed melancholy, it seems. 💖
