New Leaves.
All
old leaves
grow mouldy,
buds feel cold from
clinging while loaded
in uncontrolled broken
resolve to remain unrolled.
Most leaves
wish to descend
and intend up-ending
steely grasp they suspend,
worn leaves need re-tending
not mending when old year ends.
Worn leaves
after stem- turning,
from an anchorage burst,
then after reddening they spurn
branch attraction, freedom earned
they become torn and fall as they twirl.
New leaves
can now safely
be replaced, newly made
renovations, stations up-dated,
overpainted, greens freshly rated,
another season's verdance in waiting.
May
next
year
give
you
dear
poet-friends
extra inspiration as like me, you face
turning over new writing-leaves by making
good resolutions for 2018.
HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

WOW FAY ~ Thanks for a wonderful FORM POEM and a glimpse of SPRING ! The sparkle and beauty of the NEW LEAVES a real herald of Spring ~ just like SNOWDROPS which is my Poem for today ! I think GOD must be ENGLISH because we always get four distinct SEASONS in the right order ! I've had CHRISTMAS DINNER on the BEACH in OZ ~ Mexico & Florida but it does not seem right ! Winter for Christmas & New Year ~ Spring for EASTER ~ Summer for Holidays and Autumn for Bonfire Night & Fireworks ~ WE know it makes sense. Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours throughout 2018 ~ BRIAN # NEW YEAR HUGS @@@@@@@
