New Leaves
In the kitchen window
the coleus I cut down to stumps
to make cuttings for friends
is spreading new leaves to the sun.
Small hairs
the light catches
rise from the new leaves;
red seeps into green
along the veins.
The newest
is brightest.
The plant
cocks intelligent
faces
at the sun
and looks and looks and looks.
I would visit my friends
but feel troubled and shy.

ha ha. i threw away my plants. my neighbor took them out and kept them now i miss them. and to think some think i act compusively.
I would visit my friends
but feel troubled and shy.
Nice stitch. This last two lines gives the writing another status of social reality. Beautiful cool writing but much powerful to touch the conscious. Regards, pranab.

Stupendous. I think here is a glimpse to new thought.new dream.
A well crafted and beautifully written poem,
the meaning I cultivated was the clash between
old hopes and new dreams.
turning a new leaf; nice poem
