Greetings, Ned!

Wow, this is a beautiful poem, full of deeply rooted metaphors and emotions that suit the season well (not the WdC celebration season, rather the moodiness of impending autumn…)

We see nature personified with a multitude of human feelings and actions: weary leaves, shriveled up after the harshness of August heat, drop mournfully off the trees, leaving them stripped of their green glory. The unhappy trees stand bare and wait for the winter’s snow to enrobe them in wedding gowns, which is a stunning way to end the poem. We even feel a hint of spring there as we consider the renewal which comes after the snows of winter, which ties into the idea of a wedding which carries the promise of new life.

I’m at the point now, after going through a bunch of these Wrapped Refrain poems, where I don’t even stop to count the syllables or see if the author “got it right.” I go mainly by instinct, and I can tell this is a striking example of everything a poem should be. Nature poetry is one of my favorites. I’m very glad I stopped by your collection today.

You should try entering this into "First and Second Chance Poetry Contest" Open in new Window.. I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated and it definitely deserves recognition.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
