Trees go into HIBERNATION during the Winter when there is less SUN ! Pleased you enjoyed the Presentation ! I love Natalie Coles take on Autumn Leaves so so full of PATHOS !
  Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE

    THANKS UNCLE STEVE : ANGELA HERE ITS 8pm NZ Time : So im just digesting my scrambled egg and a KIWI FRUIT sliced in TWO and served in a Twin Egg Cup (very Middle Class) ! For a POEM to be reciteablle : and for a HYMN to be singable it must have EITHER : RHYME or RHYTHM or preferably BOTH : OK. Prior to 1950 they did : In the BRAVE NEW WORLD anything goes and Congregational Singing ha shed Her Mantle of pre WW2 excellence. We do our best to maintain STANDARDS and the QUARENTA is a prime example. Thank you along with ANDY > MIKE > FAY etc for flying the Flag. There are many others: AMEN
    Blessings & Peace for YOU & FIDO
    Hugs : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

    Thanks B&A. I'm not against modern hymns/choruses, even with 'irregular metres' - them metres! lol. But what is maddening is endless repetition, I mean about 20 times, not just 4 or 5 times; plus having the same choruses about 3 or 4 weeks in a row, and idle strumming from musicians. Erm, I cant imagine some places saying: Now the next hymn, No.407: 'I wanna scream it out from every mountain top!' Some respond, 'Erm, yes, well...'

  Much as I love Autumn it is still the precursor to winter - so for me it's always spring with all its promise. That aside I also love the colours and this form as well - great work Angela.

    With all its harshness, I see winter as seasons in life, a time to regenerate, a time of maturity, a time to reflect.
    I am in the winter of my life, awaiting for the enevitable re- birth

  Ah - Angela thank you for posting the gifts Autumn brings. The number you chose is haunting and Nat's daughter does it justice - - your lovely words describe Autumn with artistic eloquence making all its colours vibrate with beauty.

  Autumn is my favourite season Loads of vibrant life and colour + of course kicking your way through the dead leaves.The different scenarios you describe concisely and brilliantly. Loved the poem.

  Yes those are the attributes of Autumn, plus a feeling of calm and serenity, when one is soaking in the warmth of the afternoon sun, draped in a shawl, on a chilly day.
  
  On this, from my poem "SEASONS"
  
  Seasons
  
  Seasons in life
  Seasons in health
  Seasons in nature
  Seasons in wealth
  
  Birth in spring
  Growth in summer
  Maturity in fall
  Regeneration in winter
  
  Maturity of autumn
  Time for the harvest
  The fruits of knowledge
  Of all that is attained
  To share the wisdom, of
  Birth and growth
  To the many generations in tow
  To feel proud of living
  
  Thnx for taking me there
