          the edge of Fall

Endless verdant-forest hills
rise beyond a flawless lake
to greet blue-sky cloud legions
marching forever in cadent
  harmony
with the soft-shadow
sunbeams and memories,
that dance this pathless
  forest dream,
of life and love and Summer
  passing
beyond the lovely edge of Fall.

How delicately you paint the coming transition into Fall. Just a tiny melancholic hint, yet still immersed in the Summer dream.

Absolutely beautiful, dear Bruce.

Love,

You always do fall so well. Bruce. I wait for your poems about autumn and I am never disappointed.

Bruce, I so especially enjoy your poems about your hills and lake.  This poem, like the others, paints the scene so clearly, that I would recognise it, if, as an owl, I were to fly over it.  Beautiful!

beautiful lines, fine writing.
