Leaves of life
I rest my weary head
against the earths
tender timber bed
Burnished by the
Blissful but yet bold
color of brown . Carrying
It’s colorful
coruscating
crown of the luscious
Leaves of life .
that once carried
the callow clean
Color of green
now hold the adept
colors of
orange and gold.

A very colorful...
image in my mind! I like the way that you have blended and smoothed the sentences with the "B' and 'C' beginnings.
I don't know about the use of the word [adept], but it doesn't seem to hurt the overall scheme. Perhaps leaf it 'B'. ~ Geez.

Leaves of Life
Hello, Edward,
I feel as if I've traveled through the life of a leaf. Bold imagery within a subtle journey.
Thank you!

Aw...
Both very sad and lonely songs / lyrics. I've noticed you've been inspired by Frank Sinatra before. He was one of a kind.
Thank you,

Dear Edward
I see a leaf evolving here, I often in my own poetry refer to myself as a leaf this is pure and beautiful. X my favourite stanza is your first but it was really hard to choose because they are both as ever full of imagery and wisdom
Thank you...Teddy

Thank you
I wanted to portray the journey of life or aging I usually compare life to other things like nature like leaves and birds .
Thank you for pleasant comment

no altercation
in this complication of alliteration,
but rather a smooth smoothie going down easy
rainbow striped steady going
cool command of the language.
Compare I cannot to.
You do yes indeed
fall on a tree top flower bed
rest for life refreshed repeat
lol that was kinda fun
Thanks Edward,

Edward,
Edward,
This is some really interesting characterization. I think it is surprising to say that timber is tender; the way you put it, however, is oddly appropriate. Comfortable even, if I can say that. I like the way you compare the matured leaves to their "callow" beginnings while honoring both equally. Beautiful work
