All Is Fall

It is autumn; my mind goes drifting like wisps of dandelion fluff which I wished on long ago after spring’s sun-gold heads vanished from the grass. All I recall is gone; now all is fall. Written Aug. 23, 2019 for Caren Krutsinger's Autumn Or September Or October Nonet Poetry N/A and never re-entered in another Contest Now used for John Hamilton's 'N-A rerun 3' Poetry Contest

I like your word choices and the form you used for this is well fitting for the tone of the poem.

The colors return each spring, though it's sad to say farewell to the flowers when fall arrives. A lovely Nonet, Andrea. Wishing you success in the contest! Hugs, carolyn

I really enjoyed the pull in this imagery, it has a vibrancy that washes over the reader. Good luck in this one that I missed! Love ... CayCay

I love the sense of nostalgia within this lovely nonet Andrea. This form is kind of like the Etheree that you are so great at. I love this! : ) xxoo

Yes, fall will come again. The Jewish High holidays and the NFL along with colorful trees. Hot summer in NYC here. Nice nonet! We made up a form in Brooklyn called 9 1 1 . But poetrysoup won't accept as a form. I think it is a nice form. Yours Matthew Anish

The unveiled little umbrella's drift across the days until the cool air drops them into a new season. <3

Vladimir Nabokov used to say that goosebumps are the best way to verify a true literature. In my case, it's kinda special inner chuckle. It comes when I hear a fine joke, smell an interesting perfume, taste a good wine or when I read something like that. I think it has something to do with a sense perception)
