Thank you Kim! When summer is over chrysanthemums invite me into fall. And if I cut them back at the end of the season, they come back - so resilient.

Hi Harry! So good to hear from you. I too am pleased with the flow of the poem. Just seems to roll along with a life of its own. Fun when that happens. Thank you for your very kind words!

Lots of very good poems in the premier contests - very competitive - I really like the challenge of "answering the bell" and hopefully coming up to a new level. Thank you for your best wishes - so appreciated!
