Good write CB. Yes, they seem to fall more in November, than in October.

asteriskos
Bella Shepard said:

Asteriskos, little star, how I wonder what you are? The night sky seems a miracle to contemplate, and yet some of the stars we see may have been extinguished years ago. Find the right one and make a wish. A lovely, contemplative write my friend.

This brings to mind the Kabala and the angel\'s alphabet that to those that can read it in the stars tells of all events. A very pretty write

sea change
Bella Shepard said:

I think I see a transformation here, that the end of this relationship has produced, only for the better. No longer a raging, soaring sea, but perhaps peace and tranquility. Don\'t know if I got it right, but I love a poem that makes me have a good think!

sea change
Doggerel Dave said:

Didn\'t work out? Know the feeling - even if the context (no sea) was different.
Had second thoughts....sea a metaphor....

Bella Shepard said:

In reading I was a little confused with the line \"at one dcgree\" in the third stanza. Was it a typo?

in there somewhere was goodbye
Bella Shepard said:

This poem evokes so poignantly the feeling of loss that accompanies the final goodbye. The second to last stanza describes this quite powerfully. Such a good write my friend!

rail branches
sorenbarrett said:

This short snapshot of a poem dives deep into my heart and soul. I have live oaks show branches are covered with Spanish moss that this so reminds me of. At times an orchid will flower them. Nature is truly beautiful. A great write.

orchidee said:

Good write CB.
You sneaking off early, saying goodbye before the orchilenge 50 is up?! lol.
Well, I\'ve not practised what I\'ve preached - sometimes no poems written, then 1,2,3, whatever on other days.
When is the 50 up? Somewhere half-past Autumn, whenever that is?! lol.

it seems that books need pretty, and pleasing covers for a person to even consider reading them.

The ephemeral nature of news with absolutely no perspective unless a considerable investment in effort and energy is employed pisses me off greatly.
Apart from that I\'m mainly a happy chappie....

(That\'s definitely a vote in favour, Rik.)

It\'s tricky writing on unruled pages. So there not blank pages to start with - they have ruled lines on them! heehee.

Good write CB.
The only empty book anyone needs is \'How to sing like Orchi - in 7,483 lessons\' or summat like that number! lol.

Judging a book by its cover when there is no book seems to be the norm now days. Glitz and gloss, are marketing tools to sell more books, films, news and even people who as slaves to what they value sell themselves through lies and false presentations to impress others. People are hollow with only a cover. This is full of deep meaning which I may have missed principle parts. To me it all falls back on a lack of integrity. Well expressed

sorenbarrett said:

This piece has a hypnotic beat that like its message takes charge of the mind and without thought leads it onward to the desired end. A more than human need to impress. Very nice

seasonalities
sorenbarrett said:

Many think of Christmas when talking of seasons, I no. I hear these words applying to all the seasons of life itself. Where do the winds of fate take us through these seasons? They have not left me with much hair to flow. Great poem.

I need an elevation from the mundane occasionally. Thanks for that - neatly put, Rik.

Bella Shepard said:

I love the version of \"Count Your Blessings\" you chose, it compliments this very poem well. We are more fortunate than we realize, each day, in every way. And sometimes we just need to feel that we deserve it. Sweet and to the point, good write my friend!

\"not\"? Otherwise, I do empathise and accept your reasoning up to a point....

Doggerel Dave said:

This is not the first time you have spruiked autumn recently, Rik..... a little disoriented in time and space?
As someone who, after all this time, still attempts to come to terms with a reversal of the seasons, I find that you don\'t help.

However, as a tribute to those who are in the midst of autumn, it\'s rich nostalgia should engage.

Bella Shepard said:

As soon as I started the music I knew that this one would sweep me away. A favorite musical piece accompanies this gorgeous poem. How thoughts, over time grow fainter, and yet sweetly linger. This is such a fav dear poet!

sorenbarrett said:

A wonderful longing feeling accompanies this poem. It seems somehow wistful and I can feel the distancing as the poem reaches its end. I loved the first two lines \"My thoughts are with you in the scattering of the leaves\"
