Autumn Road
The undulating road
leads to an unseen distance.
Showers of tree leaves
spin pirouettes on it,
until a car drives past.
The technicolor leaves,
the sky and earth converge
until a car drives into it.

Hi Lake, how does it sound if you change the "until" in the last line to "when" or "as" and leave out lines 3 to 5. Have a happy holiday season! |

Thanks William for your take.
Best,

Thanks Mr Fei Ma for your suggestion. Do you mean this,
The undulating road
leads to an unseen distance.
The technicolor leaves,
the sky and earth converge
as a car drives into it.
A minimal?
Happy holiday season to you, too.

Yes. I think it would read much better. Somehow I don't quite like the use of the word "until" here. |

I concur.
A poem with good imagery, a great potential! |

Thanks again Mr. Fei Ma and Mark! |

the winding road
takes me to
where the sky and earth converge
and
beyond |
