a poet’s notebook

Day of the Dead

  

autumn crow

   

I try to count my dead

and their gifts,

    but there are too many.

  

The garden is buried in leaves.

    piles of dry crumpled leaves
    cover all that was alive
    like memories of those I’ve lost
    bury my heart and soul

    That crow/raven foreshadowed the serious tone of your poem. Strong vivid ending “the garden is buried in leaves. I enjoyed the poem link reference, too.
