One Glance

I want to take a single moment of my life to appreciate the nature and life around me. I walk and walk, placing one foot in front of the other, and take a look around. Glance at the trees, and the way their leaves blow in the wind, the way they rustle. Hearing the crunching of those leaves under my feet in the late fall when they all let go of their branch. I feel the breeze on my neck, it makes me shudder and pull my coat tighter around me. Fall is my favorite season, why you might ask? It's not too hot, not too cold, but just right. It's a switch between hot and cold air, which I am comfortable in. What's so good about the seasons and the ways that they seem to change so quickly? I haven't a clue, but I would like to take time off of my boring life and figure it all out, with just one glance.

Hello That Burnt Candle,

Fall is also my favorite season, I do enjoy the many color changes....and death. But really the color changes are the best part. I like the curiosity in the poem, and just the subtleness of piece. Imagery is wonderful. Well done.

Always,

Matthew

very nice, i got really strong imagery from this. once again, not sure if this quite fits into the category of "poem" just because of the rhythm and sentence forming.
