With chilling breaths, October's magic sighs The pastel golds and umbers drifting bright And all its wonder sparkling 'midst your eyes To stoke the embers of these longer nights The pastel golds and umbers drifting bright That burnished carpet woven with romance To stoke the embers of these longer nights Will never leave such autumn loves to chance That burnished carpet woven with romance And all its wonder sparkling 'midst your eyes Will never leave such autumn loves to chance With chilling breaths, October's magic sighs. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "N/A Rerun 4" Poetry Contest, John Hamilton, Judge & Sponsor.

I thought I remembered this one, funny I told you I'm starting to like Pantoum's with the repeating lines, this one could not be ignored, congrats Greg on a fine win!

Loved this, and I'm starting to enjoy Pantoums, they are sort of lyrical with the repeating lines but I find it too challenging for me. I sense another win in the breeze!

Thank you so much, John, I'm very pleased you enjoyed this one, my friend ... but no placement this time. Gave it my best effort and my best Pantoum by far, but it did not tickle the sponsor's fancy. Thems the breaks, Buddy! ;o)

"October's magic sighs"--poetry... October is magic and this pantoum is gorgeous. (that's it! I will not comment on your work again without a thesaurus at hand)

LOL - Oh, please keep commenting, thesaurus or no - I get far too few these days. Many thanks and blessings, Dear Poet! :o) <3
