W3 :: Fall

fall blooms
fall pretty leaves
fall is an open path
fall is all about letting go
fall down

  12. Elizabeth, that last line completely changes how I read the whole poem, “fall down” flips everything from the gentle season imagery into something much more vulnerable. I love how “fall” quietly shifts from noun to verb right at the end, it’s such a smart use of the word’s double meaning. “Letting go” suddenly feels less peaceful and more like actually falling. Such a clever, well-crafted piece.

      1. That’s the brilliance of your poem, Elizabeth, how ‘fall’ holds both meanings at once. The beauty and the breaking. It’s why poetry can say things prose never can. Thank you for trusting us with that vulnerability. 💚
