Oak Tree Lane



Autumn leaves dangling blindly with hopes of hanging on as to not fall to the earth below
Praying to stay afloat as if to be cast out into the ocean surrounded by nothing but the horizon in every which way
Weeping willows cry for the leaves that die in autumn
The breeze, swiftly taking them to their journey to another population of admirers who collect that which they call beautiful
Those gazing upon the oak trees
Inhaling its woodsy aroma that slithers along like an aromatic smoke curling its finger to hypnotize
Transfixed on the trees
Ah, the aesthetically pleasing trees
The leaves don't find it pleasing --
All they see is the others who've met their demise on the brownish greenery below
While others smile with glee that autumn is here

I began writing poetry at the age of 15, when I was first introduced to the genre. By age 19, it became a hobby. At age 36, I self published my first poetry collection, The Way We Fall: Love Amid the Thistles, in 2020. Which met with great praise. I look forward to perhaps sharing more poetry in the future. In the meantime, when I'm not writing, I enjoy cooking, learning about tarot, astrology, numerology and reading on meditation. more…
