Comments : When the Last leaf Falls

    Wow, i just got out of bed, kissed my girlfriend, told her good morning, and read this, and basically just cried. Dear lord, this is absolutely beautiful. The over all idea, this relation of nature to oneself... existenstentialism (holy shit i cant spell) is usually a pretty drab poetry subject for me, i usually find its a wonderfully creative idea, and i believe in a lot of motive and ideas themselves, but the art always seemed so forced, and just boring. But not this one. I think because its more a vehicle for the idea than an actual relation. just that last verse though, is so heartbreakingly beautiful. I wish i could critique this one, i want you to like, review it and send it in somewhere, wo many people need to rread this poem. Absolutely gorgeous.

    Oh My! I love the way this heartfelt write
    follows the cycles of a tree as it makes its
    change through the seasons. Thoughts like
    leaves come and go through the cycles of life
    and never-ending new ones bud, as the love
    made from strong roots shall always remain.

    I look forward to reading more of your work
    as this poem has captured my heart. Thank
    you for sharing and Write On.

    This is so beautiful and touching from the beginning to the end. Every stanza is filled with an amount of emotions expressed greatly. I could really feel evrything that you described here within each heartfelt line. I like the ending a lot, it is captivating and effective, and it sums up the message of the whole piece excellently. Amazing and enjoyable read.
