One more that I love.

"Autumn's breeze,
Leaves dance, like honeybees,

Stillness rests in the bare-limbed trees.
"

My only edit was to add "the" to make the syllable count correct. I'm impressed by how well it orchestrates the meaning of the three lines. It's quite profound.

I just heard Irondread52 recite a poem.  It was very middling.

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

I saw Irondread52 recite a poem at the Bay 12 Games Forum. It was inevitable.

 A calm gravity seemed to surround Nordlicht’s entire person, and no one would dream that he could become the agent of any mystification, however harmless.

Hence, the applause that greeted him at the Bay12 forums continued until he, with a friendly gesture, claimed silence on his own behalf. His mouse moved towards the post button that had been prepared for him on his presentation of advanced poetry, and then, typing calm and motionless, he, with a determined glance, pressed his right forefinger down, after finishing the single word—

“Dwarf!”
