The Last Leaf of the Dying Tree

i like it

Plucking the last leaf of the dying tree
I say goodbye, give it all peace
But sew it to my heart where it will stay
As a reminder of a tree that was not meant to be

Her fruits so sour
Leaves crumpled and dry
Seeds of no promise
On dying wood it thrives

No real foundation
It was bound to die
I just let it erode away
Just let it all die

So I pluck the last leaf of the dying tree
In remembrance to me off thee

The metaphor in this poem with plucking the last leaf off a dying Tree was very clever, and it added slot to the poem. It was very strong abs a bit sad, and I really enjoyed reading it :)

I like this poem. Using the tree in the poem gave it strength and purpose. I like the complete poem. The ending was perfect. We need to remember. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

man this was just so great. it was really sad too, and it just adds to everything great about this. i think you've done a hell of a job. awesome

I like it too - a good analogy start to finish (cohesive). I'd do something about the last line in the second stanza - it's seems odd for a last leaf on dying wood to be thought of as 'thriving.' In the last line 'off' should be 'of.' In fact, looking at the last line again, I feel that 'to me' is superfluous and a bit clumsy to read. Good work putting so much impact into so few lines. :-)

I absolutely love this poem!! It's incredible!! I love fall, but I feel that it has an underlying message or tone to it.
