Many thanks for liking this Stephen and Stephen.

Well i'm so glad you liked this Graham. To be honest, I wrote it in situ as it were on my phone notebook, then edited it quite a lot. It's a bit like reducing a sauce or stirring something until you're happy! Initially I though aye aye another Autumn poem, but I was pleased with it too!

Thanks Paul; you have to try to make the best of nature's spoils, even if it's grotty - there's happiness everywhere . It's a primeval thing is fire...

Oh man, what a lovely piece. Almost too much to comment on. I was gathering leaves up myself today and have some lines stuck in my head but this takes the biscuit. The pissoir, the shed, whispering compost, proud incinerator this is definitely one of your finest Ray. Bloody fine words!
