Treble Clef

crisp orange leaf
floats like
a melody

its music
reverberating 
through the 
silent woods

I wrote this septolet for this week’s Wea’ve Written Weekly at the Skeptic’s Kaddish. Here’s the prompt for the week:

  • Write a “Septolet” that refers to something that is held, something that one might hold.

The Septolet is a poem consisting of exactly seven lines containing exactly fourteen words with a break anywhere in between the two verses. Both verses deal with the same thought and create a picture.
