A Leaf Poem by jerry hughes

Bravo Jerry. A lovely piece..(Try The Dryad When you have a spare minute.Best regards Sally x

A nice poem.I like the line ' A single leaf makes its own history', for every man is distinct from others.

I loved it......It's amazing so meaningful and beautiful 10/10 :)

I cry with your great poem of Humanity..............You are a great person who grabs the nature like a Mother grabs her feeble child..................-a decaying leaf writes-

You bring to mind Joyce Kilmer's poem that I loved at school....yes I agree with Patti...the inventor of chainsaws needs to be in chains....beautiful poem

Very well done, Jerry. Man sometimes is blind to his own destruction. You would probably like my (almost) newest poem: O NIDO (THE NEST) . It's in Portuguese but has the English translation with it.

A truly lovely poem Jerry. So sad the blind destruction of what really matters in our world.

The micro-world of leaves on trees, miraculously growing on hard wooden branches getting in an equally miraculous way their water and food from deep beneath. And then we look at another leave and another, the branch and the tree and suddenly we wake up to the cruelty of humans selfishly ending the miracle Excellent poem

the connection of nature and man....your wonderful poem has it....we are but like trees....

Yes, man thinks he is better at making beautiful picturesque views and landscapes, when he is in fact the destroyer of all that is good, and beautiful through his misguided thoughts and greed. Man is ignorant to the nth degree! Just had a thought - so far haven't seen any poets on PH that are landscapers, have you? RoseAnn
