Pivotal Fall

Pivotal Fall Our Spring is so welcomed when Winter is done, We long for rebirth under warm sun. New growth of Spring will recall Green, lush Summer sprawl. Then with ease, Fall Paints the trees Bright shades to enthrall, Forestalling Winter’s drab pall Of snow, sleet and ice…not so much fun… Our Spring is so welcomed when Winter is done. © Sandra M.

Thanks, Richard, for your congratulations. I guess others chose Hourglass too, but that name is already used as a form. Sandra

Excellent Sandra! I said the same thing about it looking like an hourglass however I have a different name for the form picked out. The form is different and I want to try it if I can find time. A really nice form Andrea has created. I like the rhyme scheme. Brava!
