Linda Alice Fowler Poet Dizain

Notes About The Poem

 

 

Interlude

“In the fall, I believe again in poetry...”
— Jaakko A. Ahokas

When September comes through heated breezes,
sunflowers watch droll dragonflies duet
to tunes of melodic taunts and teases
of Autumn's promise to pay Summer's debt.
A bright season greets us without regret.
Behind is buried under yesterday
and tomorrow is waiting for its say.
Joyful is this moment in Nature's arms
when time suspends until it finds its way
and ripe Autumn casts its bountiful charms.

David Crandall August 2, 2025 at 4:01 PM Poetic images and rhymes about Autumns welcome return. I think where you live, autumn is more welcome than where I live. :-) Linda Alice Fowler August 3, 2025 at 7:30 AM I fear your Autumn is our Summer. Predicted heat, heat, heat through September. LOL No complaints though. This is not hot compared to other places I've lived. Thanks friend. Good to see you! :)

Speaks Volumes July 28, 2025 at 3:17 AM Laf this is beautiful poetry. It's such a pleasure to read something so poetically created with thought and skill, that sets the mind reeling on a journey. Icing on the cake is your wonderful way with wafting alteration, it adds sparkle to an already intriguingly pleasing poem.

You always live my spirits. Time is valuable...I understand the copious amount of time it takes to read and comment. Thank you! :)

Susan Ashley July 27, 2025 at 8:06 AM Dear Linda, your poem captures the splendor of September and Autumn with brilliant imagery and rhymes. I love September and Autumn and I adore your title which animates the transition and lull between summer and fall so beautifully. I was especially struck by "Autumn's promise to pay Summer's debt" -wow! and "Behind is buried under yesterday/and tomorrow is waiting for its say" - amazing! But every line sparkles like the September sun in blue skies. Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan Linda Alice Fowler July 27, 2025 at 8:21 AM Your comments are always encouraging and truly welcome dear Susan. Thank you I trust you have a lovely week ahead! :)

Hilda Greenhough July 26, 2025 at 9:19 PM I loved this. It being July, your poem fills me with anticipation. Linda Alice Fowler July 27, 2025 at 7:17 AM Many thanks Hilda. We haven't quite reached our hot summer here yet. I'm already anticipating a cooling change. LOL :)

sara Etgen-Baker July 24, 2025 at 5:22 PM what an amazing write! The perfect interlude in poetic form. Best wishes with the contest, Sara Linda Alice Fowler July 24, 2025 at 6:09 PM Many thanks dear Sara! :)

Gary Radice July 23, 2025 at 11:36 PM That is one fascinating rhyme scheme Linda; I'm not familiar with the dizain form but you've nailed it. (ababbccdcd) I need to read up more on poetry forms. The title caught my eye because I was reminded of the 1968 film of the same name and the song: "Interlude" by Timi Yuro - perhaps my favourite song from a film of all time. I digress. Nature comes alive in your poem and the use of the title is masterful here. "Behind is buried under yesterday" speaks new beginnings. Cheers - Gary Gary Radice July 26, 2025 at 11:03 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qXej8xJeLk&list=RDMM&index=9. If ever there was a poem put to music it is Timi Yuro's Interlude. I'm off to read a couple more of your poems. Cheers - Gary Linda Alice Fowler July 24, 2025 at 5:17 PM Welcome Gary - good to see you! Wow, I hadn't thought of it till you just mentioned it. Yes, a fine song indeed! Think I'll see if I can stream it. Thanks for the sweet comment and thanks for the memories! :)
