Jan, thank you so much! I am so glad we got to share the intense beauty of autumn through this poem. AND I love the "astair" and "ginger" reference. How did I miss that one?! A re-write is always possible. I would love to include that reference giving you credit as long as you don't want to include your delightful inspiration in one of your poems! It's wonderful! Have always loved Fred and Ginger! Sending hugs your way as I dance down the hall! :)

Hi Eve! Thank you so very much! For me Fall has so many sides to it - brisk mornings, warm afternoons, sun, storms, ripening, harvesting, color, barrenness all wrapped up in a slightly OCD season! So happy you enjoyed poem! Sending you blessings of the season.
