This is lovely, wistful, Eileen. My favorite lines,
"And feel my heart is just as bare
For your warmth is no longer near"
Well said, my friend. Excellent imagery.
Love,

I get a little obsessed with autumn…write numerous poems about it as well, but I really appreciated your clean, sensible choice of words here, "...suns new burn" against the backdrop of a naked season. ~LNNS

Every couplet forms a link in a garland that just speaks of completeness. Effortless and seamless in both rhythm and rhyme. This has poetic resonance and gestalt, Eileen... a tree-poem with deep roots bonded into fertile soil. I have hitherto been not such a great fan of autumn, but this year, in my new environment at the coast and on heathland, I am absolutely loving it and a willing convert! :)) And your poetry on the subject compounds its delicate and fragile beauty. As with Taylor's Man In The Moon write, this makes me itch to also write personifying trees. Soul-stirring, TY K xx

As the gypsy child that I am, I am in love with the naturalness of your poem.

The changes of season effects us all I loved this one the comparisons of ones self with natures changes. Beautiful work....

I always enjoy your nature poetry. I think the first poem I ever read of yours had an nature as part of its theme, a lesson we could learn from it. Wonderful. ~~Nordette

Now that is one interesting tree!!!!!! and of course I loved the writing you have shared with us.

Great images and thought penned well

Wonderful as always

Made me think of the old cliches...Look on The Bright Side, There's always a rainbow after the storm. Very powerful write, for we must keep going no matter how dark the storm. Beautiful sentiments my friend.

So sad to see the beautiful leaves blowing in every nook and corner of my yard waiting for me to gather them up where they will become compost for next years blooms.

This is BEAUTIFUL...I think you and I are on the same page..I spoke today about tree's with leaves gone..How glorious and beautiful Eileen~~

Love from the dove

Another good example of how you can relate nature to love
