Love the art, the presentation and the words as they show one of my favorite times of the year. After a long hot summer September is so welcomed by me. Nice work all around.

I love the images here especially the ending where you show the exit of fall like a kind of getaway voyage. Leaves tossed like confetti!! Great image! That really sticks in the brain and I expect it will pop up every windy autumn day. I love to see forms used like this with purpose. Well done. mikey

Hwishesi Debi,
Well, the season is certainly changing...except here in sunny Cal where it's taking its own sweet time, lol. We had three days in the hundreds last weekend!
I thought you did a masterful job of describing the events of this time of year. Building nonets that flow well is challenging, but you pulled it off with great skill, well done.
Thanks for the read...and my best wishes to you, Bill

    Thank you for the kind comments about the writing, Bill. I appreciate the encouragement.

    I hope your weather gets better soon. Ours temperatures just keep going up and down so every day is a guessing game on how to dress.

This is very original and creative. Sideways, it could be the wings of a bird. Loved the content. The art work of the sky and birds flying adds to the writing.

    Thank you for the encouraging review. I too thought the poem sideways looked like wings. You are the only one who has mentioned that possibility. I appreciate the kind comments. Debi

I lvoe teh nonet form and your words capture the feel and flow of September. Trees don their festive attire is a line that is vivid and gives a clear picture of the beauty of Fall.

I love the alliteration and personification in temperature tag
Delightful personification throughout
lots of wonderful alliteration
good simile of leaves tossed like confetti
a wonderfully upbeat celebration of fall with great visuals in good double nonet format :-) Brooke

I relished the creative and striking presentation of mirrored nonets. I especially enjoyed your use of personification and alliteration in the first stanza, as well as your "confetti" simile in the second. Well done! -Joan

    Thank you for such a generous review and also for the lovely six stars, Joan! I may change the description line to "mirrored nonets". I was wondering what to call this and that phrase is so descriptive. Thank you! Debi
reply by Joan E. on 21-Sep-2014
    I am flattered that you found the phrase appealing enough to use as a title. Cheers and happy Sunday- Joan

A gentle sadness to the rhythm of the seasons it seems in this wonderful little poem. So perfectly artistic. If someone hated poetry they would love this!
