That burst of color, bold as the new day, right before the overworked branches start yielding to dormancy one more round of the robin's soliloquy before all would fly off, 7 weeks or so before the winter solstice you had a way of making an entrance, as well as an exit but you fly home now a solitary butterfly softened, silenced, in a divine haze of iridescence reclaiming your crown at peace finally.

softened, silenced, in a divine haze of iridescence This is a touching, awesome way to render "returning home", dear EmmaRose. Margherita |

I envy people who can write about nature and make it so interesting you wish your poem was twice as long. Like you did here. ~*~ I don't have to eat sarcasm to recognize the flavor. ~*~ |

Emma I really can't think of any better compliments than those two, and because I agree whole heartedly, I'm just gonna say DITTO!!! Hugs~ Lori  |

I read this earlier, and you stopped my breath for the 3 or 4 times I imbibed this exquisite living word-painting, EmmaRose. I felt its quiet joy, but a single brushstroke of sadness that was unnervingly disturbing, stayed with me for a long while afterwards . . . perhaps just the ephemeral nature of the scene, but it felt like more. You are a poet of the first water. Owl |

Saw a fresh Buckeye yesterday nectaring on my yellow marigolds. New, clean, not a scale missing. Gorgeous! This morning, frost took the marigolds. |
