The brittle leaf seems heavy today.
Strong winds can’t make it flutter
nor can sweet spring entice it to sway.
For long it has weathered many a rough storms-
Now it hangs frozen with past fears,
awaiting season’s utter:
a streaming sunlight deep and fierce.

Makes one wonder at the frailty of life ! through the vignette of a leaf !!
Yep. Thanks for reading Lokesh.
I simply wish to endorse Lokesh Roy’s perceptive critique.I found ” The Leaf ” to be a near perfect exemplar of brevity being the handmaiden to understanding.
Thanks a ton Louis. Your response always makes me write more and more.
