Splendid with the tickle of anticipated change The weather cools and mists a primal fall arrange Flutter freely off the limb and to the chilly ground Dancing on the wind in celebrate as merry goes around Turbulent the seasons of the fall in disconcert Prelude of the winter cool as frilly leaves will skirt Freely to resemble of the past exposures dawned and crowned Dancing on the breeze in whimsy red and gold surround Temperate remissions flaunted on the cusp of fall Flurries in the same sky quip in mesmerized recall Flutter freely off the limb and to the chilly ground Dancing on the season celebrations harvest so profound Copyright Kkh 10/14/02 |

I actually do get tingly "tickles" with the anticipated changes of the seasons. Here in Ontario, each one is so markedly different from the other--and each one is divinely special. You wrote extremely well of the fall season. You captured its essence---its "Rapture". This is another diamond! Linda |

What an excellent poem, I have saved this for this week's reading at a senior's home and will certainly give full credit where it is due. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. |

lovely, lovely, lovely textures and images I would suggest changing "in" to "to" in the 4th line 1st stanza...that way you can be in accord with grammatic rules and leave "celebrate" as is. Using "in" calls for "celebration," as the form to use. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Kathleen, this is stunning and you have certainly captured the beauty of a New England Fall. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Kathy, very beautiful...yes, that time of year is becoming ever apparent as each day comes and goes...becoming shorter...cooler and the leaves are starting to turn and fall....Your poetry paints this perfectly and with such grace... |
