Brother Leaf
Nature's hands
On my hands
These leaves
Are leaving
An impression
On me
Feeling it's veins
Something
About us
Is the
Same

To me the art of poetry is using the 'rules' of poetry to express something in as few lines as possible. And it is an art. Anyone can burble common garden variety stuff. This is why I like Haiku.
On a more-important matter Leon's gypsy lady seems to be asleep at present. Is yours awake? What do I have to pay for a 'headed for glory' gaze? Oh? You're the lady? I don't mind waiting while you re-garb, light some candles/incense, throw a few stars and glitter around. Just say how many dollars for a favourable gaze. I can pay visa. But no Am Express. Sorry. Oh? You're not American?.....
Thank for reading Ray, glad to read you 'got' what I was trying to do here, keep it short to just get you to think more deeply on our connection to Nature.
I feel a singing quality to this Ruth, it has joy in it. The benefits of brevity are obvious and getting to the heart of a simple leaf raising it up for comparison gives us plenty to think about !

Thanks for reading Jason, and your kind comments.
Sometimes the true power and beauty of a message is emphasised by its brevity. How lovely to think of two living organisms that live in an almost perfect symbiotic relationship holding hands as their different, "Bloods," pump through similar veins. Excellent writing.

Thanks Adam yes back to nature to refresh our heads, glad that line spoke to you.
Ha, ha Nigel well I do have a little crystal ball actually. Good poem though thanks, I'll write a crystal ball poem next
Yes Devon I enjoy that, exploring the interconnectedness of it all, just channelling a bit of Native American Energy here
Cheers Leon, I was trying to get into the simplicity of Haiku when I wrote this one
Thanks Don glad you liked it.
Leaves leaving....
I love lines like that.
Clearly we both moved from the political back to things which actually matter. Thank you for your comments on my compost.
Nigel - what does the gypsy lady (looking in ball) see my twirling neurons leading to? Hope not poetic doom. Would she say glory if I pay her more?.....

Don, the Gypsy Lady is always awake in her dreams even when she appears to be a sleep in reality!
Clear Quartz
Starts tingling
On her
Fingertips
Visions from
Her eyes
Whispered
Through her
Lips
No one
Can deny
What this scryer's
Just seen
Future flashes by
Her Crystal
Screen
Predictions came to
Pass
Once or twice
Before
You must
Show the
Cash
If want to
Know more
She accepts
Silver
She'll take
Your Gold
But Visa
Is best
For your
Fortune Told
