Leaves fallen in lovely fading colors Light snow is flying the year fast receding now that harvest days are gone Baby bluebirds have grown and flown It's the beautiful, natural way Written on 11/7/2022 For: A November Nonet Poetry Contest Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich

Indeed, Evelyn, "it's the beautiful, natural way" of time and life. I adore the natural flow and beautiful, yet subtly sad, imagery ("Baby bluebirds have grown and flown") of your lovely Nonet. But the last line is exquisite in it's acceptance of Nature's way and continuation. Congratulations for your excellent win in Andrea's contest. Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan
