ANGELA HERE - Good Evening Fay - Autumn (September - October - November !) is often too cold for Sea Swimming ~ So it is an ideal time for paddling in the surf. Especially if the Body is Warm - the cooling of the feet & legs is quite invigorating ! In essence (as long as there is some Sun) it can exend the *Lazy Hazy Days of Summer* For those of us still earning a crust ~ we pray for dry (& warm) Autumn Weekends - especially for Sailing ! By November we are usually swishing though the Leaves rather than the Surf ! In Decemberswishing through the carpet in front of a LOG FIRE ~ or this year - hopefully the S NOW ~ AMEN. Thanks for sharing
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey ! ! !

There\'s nothing like a quiet beach on a clear autumn day. Just the Sun, the ocean, and you. Wonderful for clearing thoughts and musing new poetry such as this. Lovely poem ,Fay. - Phil A.

You have placed here, the perfect pre-autumn meander ... and.. get this ..
the adder - striped chocolate ridged ground ...
knocks spots even off Daphne du Maurier\'s \'mackerel sky\' ...

\'sand lakes feeling like basins of gold water
tickling my toes in ripples ocean-smoothed\'
nature tickled you, as your words tickled my memory\'s senses -
wonderfully immersive writing on nature, as always

I often go round old buildings and wonder what tales those walls could tell of passed life within them.
Fine words Fay.

Wow Fay! why so Dark? I have a daughter that is a Ghost Hunter. belongs to a Paranormal Society and travels to visit haunted sites. She comes back with all sorts of scary tales, that I refuse to listen to. And now, you are speaking as though it\'s all true. Your English castles, homes, and graveyards must be a splendid source of many a paranormal happening. Many ghost stories to be related. Hauntings of all sorts.
Your poem speaks of the likes that can occur and are reported to be true. I lived the greater portion of my life in Salem, Massachusetts which is endowed with many haunted buildings and graveyards, and has a month long festival known as Haunted Happenings, every October ending on Halloween. So that\'s all I have to say except BOO! -Phil A.

what a subtle and contemplative last stanza,
akin to Thomas Gray\'s \'Elegy written in Country Churchyard\':
\'For thee, who mindful of
th\' unhonour\'d Dead
Dost in these lines their artless tale relate\' -

I like the jagged, sharp wordage you used purposely, poetry need not \'shout!\' for it to express its passion -
as you so brilliantly demonstrate

I do not want to age like wine, only to be drunk at the end, or cheese that turns to mold, rather let me age like the mountains, strong and solid to the very end.
Romance is good at any age, but love is handled best by experienced hands. - \'nuff said - Loved your poem.- Phil A.

Summer by the sea is a great romantic setting. Your poem contains some great phrasing: the \"repeat of togetherness,\" \"beach- bed moments,\" \"the guilt of clandestine,\"and \"ebony\'s cloak.\" A truly inspired write. Loved it. - Phil A.

So very true, children must be free to explore all, especially Nature.
My youngest granddaughter who is two goes out foraging with my son and thoroughly enjoys being let roam free in the countryside.

Those commissions can tell both truths and untruths but if the artist is true to their art they will paint what they see.
Good write Fay and showing that untruths can be seen in art if money is involved.

Good Evening FAY ! Its very hard for BRIAN & I - having been born in the Digital Age (1980s) to imagine a *Time before the Camera & Selfies etc etc* ! One had to rich to commission a Portrait for Oneself or ones Lady - consequently to get value for money one would want a *PHOTOSHOP* Portrait and not *WARTS & ALL* Thanks for an interesting ODE on an almost lost Art ! Richard Stone is an Essex Man & has been commissioned to paint some excellent Royal Poertraits and has captured the essence of both the Queen Mother & Elizabeth II ! In post-camera art I douby if any Lady would want to be painted by Picasso or Dali ! The piantings of the American First Ladies in the Long Gallery in the White House are very famous and have captured their ESSENCE !
Blessings & Joy & Peace & Love
Angela & Brian & Smokey Cat ! ! !
