"fall Starts Slow"

The moon light spills through

the barely stripped trees and shines

on a wilted flower...

Excellent, Michael how are things with you , good I hope. I just got to my mail, lol, my account was locked. Someone tried to get into my yahoo. I really enjoyed your part on the note. I can't wait to slip my words under the door. I think the poem is going to be fantastic, by the way. Them trees at my house are losing more leaves than we need. They got real boney fast, well now the flowers won't be coverd, hope they enjoy the moon, before the cold hits in. Enjoyed your poem,..p.d.
