Many autonomous revelations and memories here.

A great read. Felt like I was looking at a drawing by M. C. Escher and loving all the corridors down which each line guided my feelings and inner vision.

Autumn colours render serenity and true beauty to human kind. We should all take a moment to enjoy the beauty of the nature before it is taken away from us.

Wonderful write, Robert!

Ha...this is what I have been missing for the past few days. Not so much the memories, but the experience of the things that made the memories possible. Excellent poem. I'm looking forward to seeing autumn colors when I get to NY tomorrow. ~ Sara

Upon second read, I find so much more depth here. Very personal. Good work.

To me, autumn is the most romantic of all seasons. She dresses everyting in her finest colors and sets them to dancing with her warm-to-crisp winds of change. Waves of fallen leaves roll like tides across the landscape; settling into their final places where they will sleep upon the seeds of promise, beneath the white velvet blanket of winter. It all turns my thoughts to the magic of nature and how perfectly everything fits together and how we can become the seasons if we allow ourselves to do so. Your poem is an absolute beauty, Jude, you words have placed me into that peaceful and romantic place where I feel a sense of unwinding and settling in with a joyful anticipation of all that is the season.
Take care,
Sherry

Watch out for the bears! But NY sure is stunning anytime of year.

Jude,

Nature offers her fire and you take of it and forge...another masterpiece.

Peace,

Ah... meadow-sweet: my favourite! Call me Contrary Mary, but this gives me a more vernal zing - but perhaps I'm just twisting around the "tomorrow's memory" and "inside the mind outside the world within"-thing. For some strange reason, second stanza also makes me think of looking at blood teeming with life on a slide under a microscope - again, painting pictures of DNA and life... Aha! Got it - leaves' veins, init?! Glad I'm not totally barking - arf, arf. Watch out for all that autumn smoke gettin in your eyes - otherwise THEY'LL be red, too! :)) ... And, blimey!! Punctuation!! Classic beauty here, Jude, with a twist of the phantasmagorical - but of course. Quite a cocktail - or a mulled wine. Wild and warming, thank you. K xx

Autumn is my favorite season. What an ode you have offered it, Jude. Thank you for sharing this timely seasonal offering. Love and peace.

wonderful, fabulous talent

This touches deeply within me because of a new world I am now seeing. Autumn has always been a beautiful month to me but this year it touches me through sight and stirring inner feelings that have been dormat. In some ways you have describe a feeling inside me as I look at a autumn leaf and my mind, not just my sight, drinks it in with a joy that goes beyond words. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.

I'm left silent by your poetic excellence.

Though our Springtime is here, the imagery in this write, brings to life that of the Autumn season so vividly.
