The maw
of barren
branch
tongues
a last
yellow
leaf
poised to
gulp it
down the
long
gullet
of winter
Photo note: Twenty points off for out of focus. Six point bonus for capturing nature and not fiddling with the leaf at all.

Notice that there are several poems here, contingent on revealed or unrevealed links.
If someone didn't click on branch, they wouldn't get the emotional key to this beautifully illustrated short poem.
And what's with the UFO over the giraffe???

Really -
I have to confess, the UFO is photoshopped. I knew you would notice, but you have failed to comment on the symbolism.
In eager anticipation. D

Completely fabulous! You made me laugh out loud.
Don't tell me it's difficult though -- time consuming perhaps.
Really, what a pleasure it is to have a peek into your unconscious -- enticingly primitive, while classically Freudian with neurophysiological overtones touched by the spirit of a romantic yogic sailor. Right up my alley .
Welcome to the Society of Long Poem Practitioners.
Appreciatively, D.

No, it's a lot harder to make poetry out of it like you do.
