Very interesting poem. In the words one can see the entire cycle of life in nature, combined with a tree giving life and the leaves sending out souls across the land. well done

Comment from JB Lynn
"The leaves that blow are the lost souls." - This is a heartbreaking image painted with vivid skill. Normally poems written with one or two words per line can read a bit contrived, but in this case, I think it was a smart choice. The way it is written looks very much like a tree, and because we can read DOWN the poem so quickly, there's a very real sense of leaves falling down. Was this intentional? If so, it was brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the form was intentional to look like a tree. Thanks for the great review:)

A lovely poem written in a form that seems quite difficult to me. You do such a nice job that I think I'll try one myself.

A synopsis of how nature works at any given time.
It may be simple or practical in content but as God replenishes the earth all things are made anew and refreshed for another year.

Well,now this is a very interesting way to look at this, I'd say a poetic way, poets always see things in such a unique and clever way. Good job. God loves you and so do I.

TAB: Ohhhhh, I like this! The shape is creative of you but the words are original and I love the last words, "The leaves that blow are the lost souls". Fabulous! Six star worthy but will have to be virtual today. livelylinda
