Leaves of Falling Reasons

Leaves of falling reasons,
settle on every thought.
Leaves of changing seasons,
sever then gravely caught.

The green is just a dream,
a lofty fertile dance.
A’ground truth’s torrid theme,
divides the winsome glance.

Brown, seedless, heaped debris,
the waste of nil that grows;
a scentless pot pourie,
the sum of reasons woes.

Hand clustered wafered sheaves,
shattering into dust,
and blow the wind that heaves,
with a dissipating gust.

    reasons and seasons bound together by unusual word combination is surely an interesting reading.....

    Unique poetic mind you have, as I am left helpless to the intractable forces that pull me into your charming and refined poetry. " Leaves of falling reasons, settle on every thought." Yes, sooner or later they sure do...

    Thanks Alby for another wonderful read, as always, so much well worth the read.

    This reminds me of all those times I made excuse after excuse for doing little, producing less and watched the debris of thought and deed pile up blow on the breeze. nice content and rhyme, short for alby, though
    a good one

    I like the flow that you have achieved in this write, it reads so easily, like words made of silk.

    The metaphor of autumn leaves is beautiful.

    WHEW! This was quite a mindful...a moistened my emotional palate though. I can still see it though; images of wisping reasoning, unseasoning without rhyme. I think this flow was perfectly timed. My favorite lines were: "Leaves of falling reasons,
    settle on every thought.
    Leaves of changing seasons,
    sever then gravely caught."... Your ability to pull in the reader, to engage their senses - is amazing. I loved this piece. I am sure I'll have to read it again (already 3 times). Superb to me...glad that you re-posted this one.

    Very interesting. I really enjoyed reading this. The background, though plain, fitted the poem very nicely. I really enjoyed reading this poem. Keep on writing, until you can't no more!!
