Oh yes, the masterful write here describes autumn to a 'T' and I love it! My wife said, and this is her saying it, she doesn't like the word moist...she says it's a disgusting word, ha ha! But that has no bearing on how I feel about your wondrous poem, cause I loved reading your delightful piece this morning! Such a glorious piece my friend! I loved every word (including moist) of your amazing poem! Great Work!!

Jan Allison
Date: 9/6/2017 1:15:00 PM

Lol @ Emma I toyed with wet and damp but thought moist far better:-) hugs to you both Jan xx

Jan, I'm still laughing at your comment on reading my take on dung beetles! I wouldn't have written it had it not been for yours. And I love the line comparing falling leaves to falling silk robes. Excellent. / M
