Two Poems from our Fall Poetry Collection

 
 
DANCE OF AUTUMN
   
Author: Elisheva Harow
   
Poem:
DANCE OF AUTUMN
   
  Advancing time brings chill of fall
As tree by tree heeds autumn’s call
Bright colors burn and set the trend
Of trading life for gloried end
Their leaves break off and twirl to ground
Compete with snow for lack of sound
Atop an oak of fiery hue
One grips on high, stark growth framed blue
It hears its’ kin each free their hold
To winds that prod; take heart, be bold!
They spin away to paths unknown
At times at night can hear them moan
But some call up, of wonders tell
Cloak fate with an enticing veil
Our leaf it knows its' end is near
But off its tree there’s much to fear
Yet by and by if it does wait
Will just dry brown and dissipate
The bare old oak then interferes
With wisdom of one hundred years:
“If free to blow there’s much that may,
As fortune goes, just come your way...
The choice is yours- give life a chance,
Or stay here safe; forgo the dance."
Our trembling leaf then quiets dread,
And gathers strength for what’s ahead
To all it knows it bids goodbye,
A breath, then off -‘tween earth and sky...
A soft wet day, a child’s feet,
A pause, a look, a small hands heat.
With eyes aglow from morning sun,
Clear voice declares: “I’ve found the one!”
This perfect leaf of wondrous shade,
It was to last forever made
The leaf then felt; as pressed, unfurled,
Most beautiful in all the world

POOR DRIED LEAF
   
Author: Anupama Shrinivasan
   
Poem: POOR DRIED LEAF
   

THERE SHE BLOWS,HITHER AND TITHER,NO BURDEN TO THE WIND
DRIED AND BROWN AND UNINTERESTING
ONE AMONGST MILLIONS WITH A PURPOSELESS EXISTENCE
GREEN AT ONE TIME IN THE SPRING OF SEASONS.
THERE SHE IS VERY NEAR TO THE TREE
HER BEARER HER GIVER AND OH YES HER FAMILY TREE.
DID I SEE HER THEN I WONDER.
WHEN SHE WAS SHINY AND NEW WITH THE SKIN OF YOUTH AND THE MIEN OF LIFE
OR DID I SEE HER THEN WHEN SHE WAS YELLOW RAVAGED BY THE INTERROGATION OF TIME
FUNNY I DON’T REMEMBER THEN BUT I CAN SEE NOW
THERE SHE LIES BEFORE ME LIFELESS
POOR DRIED LEAF….WAITING TO BE CRUSHED TO NOTHINGNESS
