I have always found brown to be a deep, warm colour! Thank you for giving it some appreciation!
And the sky is greyyyyyy 😉 Loved this 😇
Chocolate is brown. Chocolate is dead. I eat chocolate. I am dead. Lol, just ignore me. Oh wait another one. I am brown. I am dead. Lol, I'm so sorry Sir Paul. I don't know what's gotten into me. But I loved your poem!
This was such a creatively inspiring piece. I loved the repitition of 'part of the process' and how all the short lines build up to 'Before the multi-coloured, multi-layered blooms of spring and summer'. So impactful, well done!
Brown--the color of the fertile.
A brilliant entry, it's simple elegance almost makes me feel the season again!
And the circle is whole - nicely done.
Hi Paul ~ As I mentioned in 'Sugar Daddy' readers pick out what brings them into reads. Remembering: In my 'yute I cruised Sunset Blvd with my top down blasting 'California Dreaming/Mama's and Papa's ~ "All the Leaves are BROWN" Thanks for the memories J-bud in L.A.
Love the emphasis on the process. Awesome entry! (Yes, I was singing, too.)
I love the underlying meaning I’m drawing from this piece. Beautiful, Pal! Great entry!
And the sky is gray, I've been for a walk on this winter's day... Great poem. Had me singing Mamas and the Papas
Poor brown leaves but so pretty still.
Nice work I loved it ❤️🤗 I hope my stories get to the top one day 😪💔
