There is a palette, rare, that Autumn holds Brights shades of amber, sepias and golds The forest canopies - once emerald green Now set ablaze with burnished tangerine The foliage drifts, butterscotch and brown Soft pastel-hued confetti, spinning down So crisp, the air and leaves of scarlet red As Mother Nature tucks the woods in bed And when the months are waxing on to ten ... This bold vermillion dance ... will start again October 16, 2018

Hi Greg: I went to respond to a comment you had left on my poem , Eyes of Mother Nature’, and it was gone. Thanks for commenting and I don’t understand why your comment disappeared. ??? Best, SuZ

Part of yesterday's "glitch", sadly, I lost comments, too, and almost lost a poem. I hope your damage was minimal! :-) <3

The glory of autumn shines in this exquisite piece Greg. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest! Haven't heard from you in a long time. I hope you are well. Blessings Connie : )

Thank you so very much, Connie - I have been swamped - my brother had bowel surgery so I've had to take care of the folks by myself for the last two weeks, and then last week I got bronchitis and strep, so I'm now on antibiotics and other meds, hoping to improve soon. The responsibilities don't go away when illness comes, though, so I keep plugging. Blessings, Dear Friend - I hope you're well! :-) <3

I'm running out of superlatives to describe my response to your poetry,Greg! These couplets are as magnificent as the autumnal scene you depict. So many original touches! Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift with us! Wendy
