TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

Souvenir

Shimmering yellow green

scalloped Ginko leaves

fluttering in the breeze

Soon you will fall

and that will be all

that is left

of summer…

a souvenir

    Lovely Ellen. The lemon-lime time of the leaves is so short. It’s nice to have your poem, to ponder on it a little bit longer. 💛💚

    Ellen, thank you for the lovely video. I have always been fascinated by ginko trees, and your video brought back pleasant memories of life in DC. Ginko trees were planted along the street near UDC, where I was working on my teaching degree.😊

    Absolutely superb! Your poem captures nature’s fleeting beauty with such elegance — the shimmering ginkgo leaves become living souvenirs of summer. Fantastic imagery, awesome rhythm, and a soulful reminder of how seasons carry memories in their fall. Truly a masterpiece that lingers in the heart!

    A golden pressed leaf between the pages

    A memento from a season passed

    Now I think on it awhile

    As a stare out through frosted glass

    🍂❄
