This week Rommy invites us to write a poem about a bone in specific or bones in general.
***
A leaf
A dry leaf
A dry, defeated leaf
A dry, defeated, dejected leaf
A dry, defeated, dejected , dead leaf
A dry, defeated, dejected, dead yet dramatic leaf
Is there really something dramatic about death?
I can't ask the leaf 🌿 🍀
It is so bone dead

Wiki says :
"Bone death, also known medically as avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis, is the loss of bone tissue caused by a sudden or gradual loss of blood supply. Without oxygen and nutrients carried by blood, the bone tissue dies, weakens, and can eventually break down or cause a joint to collapse."

Since this is my Bangla Blog a poem in Bengali which carries the essence of the verse above (not part of the response to the prompt)
বিদায় বসন্ত
কালের গতি অনবদ্য
বিদায় বসন্ত
নতুন পথ চলা আরম্ভ
বিদায় বসন্ত
তুমি কি দেবে সঙ্গ ?
বিদায় বসন্ত
হয় তো না, তবু আশান্বিত
বিদায় বসন্ত
এরপর গ্রীষ্ম....শরৎ....তারপর হেমন্ত
বিদায় বসন্ত
চুলের গোড়ায় হিম শ্বেত
আমি আশ্বস্ত
আজ সত্যিই.... বিদায় বসন্ত
