I can’t explain love.I think it’s been so romanticised and commercialised that nobody knows what it is.In my mind there is no singular thing such as love….love might be the collective noun for lots of emotions.
I think the love that most people talk about is nothing more than an attachment that they can’t live without.
Hmmm

This is good advice. Like this piece.

hello dearest Benny this is beautiful yesterday my daughter and I were buying potted flowers and she held up another and said what about this friend when we made our choice she buckled it up in the back seat and smiled at me… for her I would have taken them all home ❤️

The next tree I see I’m going to hug… this was perfect Peter…

Thank you all for your comments….trees are our family…right.

You did say something eloquent 💋

I’m hugely impressed with your understanding of poetic element.
So, you are Richard the Rascal. Let me put that down. This is another amazing piece with emphasis on personification and symbolism. There’s obviously a metaphorical significance to the changing season, specifically fall to winter. It’s interesting to note that while you give leaves many characteristics of humans in this piece, they lack the unique capacity for understanding… at least, that’s the perspective of the speaker. Your final stanza is a fantastic summation.

This is top shelf material, Richard.
xoxo

Hi, M’Good Friend! ✌🏼

How great it is, Tim, to be greeted here with one of your appreciatively expressed and inspiringly encouraging reviews, that always seems to grasp my poetry’s core essence.
Yes, like You, I tend to enjoy a good dose of metaphoric imagery in my pieces.

Thank you, Syr, for enjoying this rather sad Free Verse piece! ⁓ Rascal🖌

PS: On your recommendation, I had to check the site out … do you know how one edits their poetry?

Thanks, Buddy👌

Graciously spake, Dear Poetess🥂

Your coaxing words are sweet as honeysuckle to a hopeful bard’s susceptible ear … most especially, from one so poetically accomplished and sophisticated as yourself.
A few devices I tend to favor are color, texture, analogy, simile, and nature … I’m so pleased you’ve recognized their presence in this rather poignant little piece.

Thank you ever-so warmly, Lady DK, for your always welcomed accolades! ⁓ Richard the Rascal🖌
