    What my mind saw? (feel free to unpublish if does not seem/feel appropriate)

    First second – words play
    def-eated.
    d.featured
    Da fii ted!

    Second second – rational analysis
    Leafs are perenials. It’s part of the cycle for leafs to fall. Why the tears then?

    Third second – emotional drawing
    - decreasing tone does indicate the defeating feeling

    Fourth second – personal references
    I lived them words. I changed them words. Both leafs and tears.

    Fifth second – observational: how powerful a leading word can be to set the tone of a poem. If I’d set an empowering word, the rest would change, from emotional inference to even meaning!
    Bewildered! Each falling leaf, a tear.
    Envisioning! Each falling leaf, a tear.
    Energized! Each falling leaf, a tear.
    Drained…Each falling leaf, a tear.
    In awe! Each falling leaf, a tear.
    Disappointed! Each falling leaf, a tear.
    Doubtful! Each falling leaf, a tear.
    Hopeful! Each falling leaf, a tear.
    Enthusiastic!Each falling leaf, a tear.
