A Cywydd Llosgyrnog
A leaf blown high into the sky
lets out a wistful, knowing sigh:
"Well, goodbye, my dearest friends."
Distressed, his friends kick up a fuss:
"This shall not stand! He's one of us!"
Undone thus, all meet their ends.

Interesting form that compliments this kind of an instant picture.

I enjoyed this kind of capture of that moment — it’s so lovely to see the leaves float down from the trees in autumn 🙂
🍂 Thanks, Dave! 🍂

[…] : My first “Cywydd Llosgyrnog“! Thanks to David and his previous post “Fate, or: Folly” , I learned this type of poetic meter. […]

It’s nice to have caring friends! Even if they are in the same boat!

I read the link about the rules for this type of poetry. OMG it is complicated. I am so amazed how a great poet’s mind works. Nicely done.

Indeed they do–although occasionally there are leaves that hang on all winter. Stubborn. (K)
Those are the traitor-leaves❕
Oh wow, yes. It works on two levels – leaves and humanity.

Touching verse. You gave life to a leaf 🍁.. I felt the leaf’s wistful sigh.
You are awesome with your pen, David. You bring the mundane to such creative beauty.
💗💝 Yassy 💝💗

I dare you to give us the pronunciation of that Welsh form 😉 😛
No chance❕
cuith thlosginorg – as far as I know 😀 will double-check though
whatever determination you come to, I’ll believe you 🙂
don’t just take my word for it though:

Cool 😀
This verse is very sad but fits in nicely with the feeling of fall.
Yep – that’s what I was going for, Molly ❤
Yours,
David
love this and the crunching of leaves under our feet of fall. We shall join them someday. 💖
Yes, we shall… Although, preferably, we’ll be below ground… I’d rather nobody’s feet crunch on me 😉
