When walking in the garden,
I found a fallen leaf.
It was brown and old,
the same which had once been so green.
I looked closely and thought,
Now, being dead,
It was finally at peace!

A fallen leaf found
Which had once been so green
Is it now at peace?
Is that a haiku? Good thought Judy!
Thankyou so much 😊
deep thoughts to have about a leaf. and to return to the soil to start life anew. maybe one day.
Thankyou 😊yes maybe one day
I guess even a little leaf can put you into deep thought. In a world that's constantly changing, anything that stops "moving" is considered dead. And perhaps in death there's a profound peace, because you don't have to move or struggle anymore and you can just be. That's what your poem made me think about. Great job! Thank you for sharing 😉
That’s the thought I had when I wrote it 😊 Glad you like it!
And that fallen leaf that lives no more is from a tree that lives on. Wonderful poem Judy. 😉
I love this quote! Thanks for your comment 😊
interesting twist!
Thankyou so much!
Nicely put, Judy. I missed the fact that it was a (nearly) haiku until I read the above comment from Tallisman
Thankyou so much! I should have mentioned it in the category that it was a haiku, but at the time of writing I wasn’t sure of it as well😂
