This is what can happen if you let the fragment of a suggestion play itself out. Dangerous? Perhaps.

One dead leaf that October left fr'intents Behind for old time's sake, 'non dances, pale And lonely 'cross the naked blacktop, frail Or homeless where snow skulks in cold suspense, (To hunker down like yielding is pretense) Its fragile essence like ours as th'exhale Drives it on forward, March' winds chill detail As our iniquities til Death. Ah, whence? I had this notion there was more as twere. Like, if we bide our time, Spring shall 'gain woo As wont. But if you hear the Scriptures fer Lo, even this dead leaf, all pales. The crew Of happy souls on Instagram, and poor Lil me none knows, will answer, LORD, to...You.

That's okay. I didn't begin writing poetry because any soul other than me, myself, and I wanted to do it. If nobody likes this, at least I did. Hahaha.
