PRECOGNITION
Through bare branches, swinging, swaying,
howling winter winds declare
the end of autumns cloak of gold
in days of dark and drear.
Hoping soon once solstice passed
with benefit of spring bestowed
midst avian songs and shoots of green
I’ll chart the labyrinthine road.

May that labyrinthine road show the absolute beauty of Nature's seasons Michael, as you words do.
Andy
thanks Andy.
Good write and pic M.
Miss Berles know any labyrinths? Is she stuck in a maze and can't get out?
No but she does know Lady Rinths.
Apologies, apologies, apologies - I know this is not directly apropos your work above, Michael, which I've read and enjoyed (as I attempt to read all on MPS - with varying levels of comprehension and gratification). I also read the commentaries, which I find can aid immeasurably in my own discernment and pleasure. (I don't often comment on nature poetry, which as I've already stated I do enjoy, because I really haven't got much to add - good enough reason to shut up?)
So why am I here? (Recurrent question with much applicability).
Answer: Who the hell are Miss Berles and Lady Rinths?
Orchi and I share a common daftness - the truth is she's quite fictitious - or is she?
We believe her to be the Lady who is in charge of syllables - hence her name - Sylla Berles.
Get it? No, nor do we .
Completely mad - one of my favourite poets: Spike Milligan of course.
As for Lady Rinths - no idea - just a friend who Sylla talks about from time to time - or does she?
Thanks for that, Michael - this has clarified the situation perfectly and stilled a mind in turmoil...
Complete and utter regards, Dave
Super write Michael - - I love every well chosen word.
Thank you so much dear Fay.

Spot on - looking forward to the new year and the promise of things to come.
How our hearts sing for the renewal of spring. This year more than ever we are so ready to be a real part of that springtime renewal. How free we shall feel if it coincides with the lifting of this dark veil we have been existing beneath.
Timely words M.E.
