Thank you for an intricate poem full of color.

I happened to read this listening to C,SN & Young singing, “ Joy to you & me!” So, your glorious waltz swept me over the sun-full field, sweet & high that you set me winging over. I could well& richly enjoy this flight! Thank you, Empress. Jim’s been illa week. Hope i’m back. Missed you!

This is so breathtaking. I was enchanted throughout. I love the part abour saffron warmth and fall. Beautiful poetry...

Romantic and perfect imagery in the fall. Sunflowers are always lovely. Blessings.

Ahh!! Romantic in its own way. 'Tis the end of the sunflower season, but maybe some of those seeds have been left behind to feed the birds this winter. Thanks for sharing this one and for droppng by my page. Sara

You never disappoint with your delicious imagery. As Hiya says 'enchanting' (sssh..gonna fav it) :)

I’m singing honey rinsed sunflower serenades--How beautiful is that! A fabulous poem, Ink. Loved it all.

Truly lovely and smart! This work is innovative and charming dear Ink. It perfectly blends autumn with lyrical beauty, inspiring enchantment. The opening sentence, "honey rinsed sunflower serenades," quickly sets the stage for a loving environment. The last line, "I’ll waltz through every fall to embrace his saffron warmth " perfectly captures this lovely piece's overpowering feelings.
