        Alright, I thought I’d give the current poem in its fullness so you don’t need to keep looking back at all the previous posts. I made the rule originally that you could only post 4 times, but forget that. You can post as much as you want, but you still have to wait for someone else to post before you do your next one.

        When Autumn winds excite the leaves
        And whisper through the fading grass
        When raindrops tumble off the eaves
        Then, I feel at home
        For wind and rain and leaf and tree
        Speak of Love much greater than me

        To know that Love, and see that Love
        No searching is required
        He lives,” sing the leaves
        A plea of,”Rest” is carried on the breeze
        For all things live, and and all things die
        Though sometimes we do question β€˜why?’
        Our questions and our empty words
        About voices never again to be heard

          Oops… I must have missed the ‘only four times’ rule. Sorry about that. Are there even enough poets on here to make that work, anyway?

          But moving on.

            Until answers, the questions at rest lay

              Time to write the concluding stanza I think.

                            “as the stars begin their sweet lullaby”

                            (Maybe one more line?)

                            "When enemies attack your kingdom you don't flee you show them why it's your kingdom. With your lightsaber."

                              I hear their songs of Ever More
                              And sleep

                              Ok, I broke my rule, but I had to end it you know. So that does it. For now, I’ll just give you the poem as it stands. I’ll go through it and edit it in a day or two. Feel free to throw in your own suggestions. So here you go.

                              When Autumn winds excite the leaves
                              And whisper through the fading grass

                                Looks good, Daues! Can’t wait to read the finished product.

                                Something I do see off hand is there is a ” missing from the like He lives,” sing the leaves.

                                "When enemies attack your kingdom you don't flee you show them why it's your kingdom. With your lightsaber."

                                  Alright, I’ve finally edited this thing. So here is the finial poem that we wrote. I have to say, this may have been a hard way to write a poem, but it was very fun. I hope you enjoy the product.

                                  When Autumn winds excite the leaves
                                  And whisper through the fading grass
                                  When raindrops tumble off the eaves
                                  Then, I feel at home
                                  For wind and rain and leaf and tree
                                  Speak of Love beyond me

                                  To know that Love, and see that Love
                                  No searching is required
                                  He lives,” sing the leaves
                                  ”You may rest” asserts the breeze

                                  For all things live, and and all things die
                                  Though sometimes we do question β€˜why?’
                                  Our questions and our empty words
                                  Of voices passed and no more heard
                                  Shall find their way through night and day
                                  Till answered full they restful lay

                                  As fading winds desert the day, I sit me down and ponder
                                  Upon the things that I have seen; of beauty, joy, and wonder
                                  And as the sun deserts the sky, I sigh a sigh of peace
                                  As the stars begin their sweet lullaby
                                  I hear their songs of Ever More
                                  And sleep
