Leaf Settling Out with Poetic New Color




See "About this poem"...
~
Hit like a windfall of gold and dark loom.
The call not stalled in the mall of the thrall.

Ready to rumble but shredded by falloff.
Destiny beguiled by the shifting time zone manifest.

Floating and whirling, swirling, oxidating.
Judging, dictum, questioning, provocation.
Berating, baiting, totally, unrelating.

Re-considered, Re-evaluated,
prejudgment, suspended.

calm, weather,
storm, abating

About this poem

This isn't making complete sense to me yet, I'm still working on it, so please suspend judgment! I'm getting there. I have to write some more lines, there isn't enough information, and it will have to be rearranged somewhat, but I haven't figured out what yet. I'm not sure I'll even have it finished during the period of this promotion, but I'll keep revisiting it until it's done. I'm probably going to have to revamp the title too. If anyone wants to comment, I welcome it.
