A wonderful, well written tribute to the changing of the seasons. The changes being made to how we approach our days, the animals migrating in response to the change in the weather, the changes in the world around us.

Hi Linda,
I too love the birds. There is something so sad and yet so joyful in seeing the geese get ready for their migration. They are beautiful.
Thank you for the lovely comments about the writing and form. I appreciate the encouragement. Debi

Comment from Dom G Robles
Oh, debi, you have created here a beautiful poem, the image of Summer going into Fall. Even the color and the picture of birds and the grasses are excellent, a depiction of what you were describing. The shape of the poem also captivated me. The first part, a V shape, the second part, and the second part, an inverted V. I would say it is one of the best. It is tops. Congratulations. Dom

I am so flattered by your review, Dom. It is only my third attempt at an nonet and my first at a double one. Thank you for the kind comments. I appreciate the encouragement. Debi
Comment from Spitfire
This is impressive. Having lived in the north country up until I turned thirty, I get the temperature tag and wardrobe swap. (Although I do that in Florida too--it does turn chilly in December (that means anything below seventy to me) Wonderful image in the last two lines.

Thank you for the big sixer, Spitfire! I appreciate the encouraging review.
Right now we are experiencing several days in the eighties, then down to the sixties for the high, then back up. Do we turn on the heat or the AC? I'll take it while we can get it though. When winter hits it will be cold. Thank you for the great comments. Debi
Comment from Father Flaps
Excellent nonet and reverse nonet, Deb. I enjoyed the imagery in this piece. Autumn is my favourite season, and I happily wave goodbye to Summer.
You have chosen gorgeous artwork as well to accompany your poem.
I especially like this line,
"Summer and Fall play temperature tag" ... nice alliteration in "temperature tag". I've been reading about California's heat wave with recent poems by "words".
More alliteration with
"Dawn delays"
"a moment more each morn"
My favourite line,
"pleased to toss leaves like confetti"...for the near/inner rhyme of "pleased/leaves" and the simile "toss leaves like confetti"
Nicely penned!
Thanks for sharing, my pleasure to read and review.
cheers

Comment from Pyrrho
A pleasant read and well structured. I cannot resist adding this to my review. No comment on your poem implied:<)
A Nonet on Nonets
Oh, I find Nonets to be so strange
'cause lines span the syllable range
Of nine to one in sequence
with the phony pretense
It is poetry
But I don't see
Much beauty
Nor wit
just....

I love your review. I admit that nonets have baffled me. This is the third one I have attempted and I am surprised at the amount of comments I have received about how people love this form. I am more into the rhymed forms, but you have to try something new now and again. Thank you so much for stopping by and for the generous stars. Debi

What is wrong with a rhyming nonet?
It turns out that the early acrostics were all rhymed, Lewis Carroll (Dodson) wrote rhyming acrostics in"Into the Looking Glass."
-
Lol. I see nothing wrong with rhyming nonets. In fact, I prefer them, but that does not seem to be the tradition with this form. The other two nonets I wrote were rhyming. The fact is I had to change some of the wording in this one to make it not rhyme. Rhyming just seems more natural I suppose. I was trying to experiment with doing a more traditional nonet with this one, but it got a bit long.

Love your charming nonet on seasons' change.
Such vivid imagery.
Here in California, sweltering summer still had us in her grip. The only change here has been from hot to hotter.
Hugs,d

Thank you for the kind comments about the writing I appreciate the encouragement.
I hope you heat breaks soon. A heat wave can be so draining physically and emotionally.
Here we are having crazy weather. The high can vary by 30 degrees from one day to the next. Still, I think it is better than what you are facing.
Thanks for the generous remarks and stars. Debi
