Beautiful FAY an elegant poem dripping wit sea water nostalgia. In the N E we say \"The Boats cummin\' in\" A Friend of mine (based on the East Coast) works for the \"Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen\" and entitles his Talk (for WI\'s etc) \"The Price of Fish & Chips\" because sometimes the Boats don\'t come back in. The Deep Sea Fishermen of the UK and their families face a lot of heartache and hardship so you and I can enjoy a mega battered hake at Harry Ramsden\'s (Yorkshire) or at your local F & C Restaurant and Takeaway. Your poem really sets the scene ~ thank you. Last time Andy spoke at Church we passed his hat and sent him back to Lowestoft with £300 ~ AMEN I have a loose change box in my flat for ANDY !. Yours as ever BRIAN. SANTI & I have another collaboration \"Seasons of Love\" ~ please visit ~ Thanks ~ Love S & B

Good write Fay, nature can appear to be cruel but hawks kill to feed and not for fun like Homo sapiens.

Tell me a tale, tell me. Oh you told this so well.... winter was here in all its stark crispness, frost in my whiskers and exhaled breath-mists, headlamps on frost, gloves and duffle coats (remember those). Call me a romantic but the pictures your words brought to mind. Thank you, very very enjoyable. Goes into my favourites.

As yiu know FAY I am a SHAPE / FORM POET ! Presenting verses as Regular Rectangular Blocks of pure poetry is impossible ~ but you did it ~ gently and without fuss ~ BEAUTIFUL ~ because you are FAY ! They reminded me of Blocks of Commercial Ice ~ so they perfectly complemented the subject. Autumn is perfect time to contemplate the harshness of a Cornish winter ! The real work begins when all the Visitors have gone Home. I am familiar with the Winter hardships faced by English Lakeland Sheep farmers ~ and your lovely poem \"Rang a Distant Bell !\" Thanks for another gem ~ Yours as ever BRIAN,

Your poem reminds me of growing up in Chicago. These physical embodiments are certainly resilient, as is our survival instinct.
A \'chilling\' season and man\'s will so well depicted, Fay!

Good write Fay. I reckon I gave up ages ago on weather forecasts. Some trashier newspapers said heatwave of 30C for a month in the UK. There\'s been none at all this month at that temperature.

Thanks FAY ~ Memories are made of This ! I loved the final doublet
Summers ago fragrant wealth
Perfumed homeliness with cherished memories
We can all relate to that and \"homeliness\" is such an evocative word. Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours as ever BRIAN
