With a sensual sway,
a leaf delays its landing,
savouring its course.
About the Creator
Teresa Renton
Inhaling life, exhaling stories, poetry, prose, flash or fusions. An imperfect perfectionist who writes and recycles words. I write because I love how it feels to make ink patterns & form words, like pictures, on a page.

A kaleidoscope Reds, rusts, ambers blaze like suns Leaves fall, soft as clouds ****** Thank you for spending a moment with my words. If you like the way I play with letters from the alphabet, I would be honoured to have you as my guest, on my profile, where you can read whatever takes your fancy.

Descent
Descent is not a collapse. It is a deliberate return, a controlled lowering of altitude after the sky has done its work. You come back to the ground slowly, intentionally, carrying the clarity you earned in the thin air. The world rises to meet you with all its familiar weight, but you are not the same person who left it. Gravity reaches for you with the confidence of an old habit, expecting you to slip back into the shapes you once held, but altitude has altered your outline. You feel the pull, but you do not mistake it for belonging.

Leaves really are teachers of sensuality. Hmmmm...sweet.
I am loving all these, I don't know how the judges will pick 🤯
Nicely done. It's not quite ready to go. Sad and reflective...
Oooo, it savours it's course by delaying it's landing. That was so creative!
Ooh, this lands so softly, it really works.
We can learn a lot from it's whimsical, meandering ways 💖
