As I watch Autumn’s grin when summer dies, accepting seasons change for a reason, I’m captivated by our glorious skies, which enthrall whatever the season. Accepting seasons change for a reason stunning sunsets, clouds tinged with gold; which enthrall whatever the season nature’s wondrous glory to behold. Stunning sunsets, clouds tinged with gold; I’m captivated by our glorious skies, Natures wondrous glory to behold, as I watch Autumn’s grin when summer dies. N/A in Poet’s October Pantoum Contest judged on 11/7/2019 10/6/19

I wish you all the luck with this one that is definitely a FAVE for me. I also like descending the stairs limerick which I was sure would place to my disappointment. Congrats with that one anyhow.
