November Night - Adelaide Crapsey

Listen. .
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees
And fall.

  1. I love the two periods after listen. Katy and I found this poem online somewhere and the periods were there and I decided that it wasn't a typo, but I really don't know for sure.

    Just too bad about her last name! I think I'd make a pseudonym if my last name was Crapsey.

  2. What an unfortunate last name!

  3. It looks just like a little fallen leaf. I love small little poems like this. We should do a themed entry with small poems because I know I have a bunch and maybe other people do too?
