Yes, an oft-visited theme is autumn, or late-autumn as this seems to be. The heighted language, the elegant tone, the evocation of the magic of a landscape which dies and renews, which isn't human, but lives. All beautifully done here, Anthony. And I haven't even listened to the audio clip yet!!

How nice to see you back Anthony, weve not heard from you for a while.... and in such fine form too. Your clever use of imagery and language is always a joy to read.

So nice to hear your lovely voice Anthony!
This poem for me is so profound, beautifully written with distinct imagery that portrays a sadness for those who have passed on...
These lines express that well for me...
'No birdsong
breaks these solemn days -
wreathed in cobweb,
edged with frost.
The hedge,
a thorny garland lays,
in tribute to
the season’s lost.'

Lovely poem, Anthony, with interesting imagery. I could see Steve's point; verse 2 is outstanding in its creative metaphors. But I did enjoy the whole effortless flow of words, rhythm and rhyme. Very catchy title.
It's great to see someone else willing to be 'unabashedly lyrical' also. I was thinking of you earlier today, and wondering if all was well. And here you are this afternoon.

I'm not normally one to appreciate a nature poem but have to take my hat off to you Anthony - the poem is beautiful to read and to listen to. You would probably like me to criticise it - but I am never too good at that - just know what I like and what has obviously been grafted over.

So melancholy, I have tears, I've always loved autumn, this is a different look at the pre-winter season, very moving...
