Just A Leaf Poem by ONElia AVElar

Just A Leaf

Rating: 3.6


A dream about a kiss
of another man
fell slowly like a leaf
between two bodies,
on the bed;
a lively yellow spot
between white sheets...
She worries if it is
first autumn leaf
of her love`s tree…
If so, the unexpected season
should pass soon…
just leaves…

I like this idea, your words work well the nature. The pathetic fallacy, I believe. Well done. HG: -) xx

This is a good, melancholy poem. Lyric tone. It reminds me of Giovanni Pascoli, another Italian track for our Onelia, but it would be worth it.

The leaf metaphor is layered in deeper structures of sympathetic emotional meaning than just those connected to seasonal change. This is a phenominal poem! Rgds, Ivan

Just a leaf it can dry and fall but hopes there can give a spring bloomed in flowers and colors.. You write at ease in a few line-wonders I can say. 10 ++ Rema

Simple words, yet complex issues in this revealing poem in which the symbolism of the leaf carries with it is weighted with a myriad of un answered questions, revelations and desires upon which the narrator ponders. Strong imagery here Onelia....finely crafted. j xx

This poem has something of the haiku feel, without its rigid structure. Understated and uncluttered, your words tell of desire and dreams and just a little guilt. The yellow leaf is a perfect metaphor and your final lines leave the reader wondering... Whimsical penning. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
