Gold leaves flutter to the ground Winter approaches ~ Maple tree branches are naked, awaiting gloomy graphite clouds to clothe them with snow They languish in stoic stasis, deciduous and disrobed until budding in spring

Words can only come together like this when you have the ability to enter into the subject, feel intensely, almost become what is being observed.....the poem achieves this. Another little gem reflecting the world.

What supportive comments you always leave for me, Paul and always greatly appreciated. Thank. I imagine myself in the scene, as I'm sure you do, and then just write what I see, or would like to see.

your poem flowed so effortlessly, Lin. I especially liked your alliteration--stoic stasis, gloomy graphite clouds. I am drawn to your poetic style...something about the language you use and your spirit. A lovely read for this Thursday evening, hugs, Sara

Such a feeling of the seasons, Lin, in the remnants of autumn waiting for winter yet dreaming of renewal in spring. Love your "gloomy, graphite clouds." Perfect description. And your "disrobed" image of the trees leaving nothing to the imagination as they stand "naked" ready to be clothed by the hand of winter in snow. Enjoyed the alliteration! Best wishes for the contest! Blessings of health and happiness to you.

Thanks a lot, Sam. Was I naughty to leave them unclothed? lol I'm glad you liked how this one turned out and thanks for your well wishes. I'm sending you soup mail.

Thank you very much, Tom. It's been sub-freezing here for two days. A little warmer now, but rain makes it just as gloomy.

Hello, Lin. What a well-laid short winter poem. It made me smile today about the weather. We are expecting snow tomorrow. - Blessings, Daniel!

I once lived in a land of snow. The first fall was beautiful and anticipated... just the first. Glad to be back home in the South. Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes, Daniel.
