Comment from Joan E.
I admired your reflections about the "seasons of our lives". Your focus on "subtle nuances" and the parallel "wisps of change" was compelling. Your short poem redirected my mood to a more positive one. Smiles and happy Sunday- Joan

Comment from Ulla
Hi Melissa, this could actually be a perfect senruy if written all lower case. Admittedly, I haven't counted the syllables, but it looks okay to me. I liked your poem a lot. So much said in so few words. All the best. Ulla:)))

Hello Melissa, this is a lovely short poem with such lovely words and so true. Sometimes the changes are not so subtle unfortunately. LOL! I love your short poem - lovely picture, you always make tasteful choices. Warm regards Dorothy x

Comment from Gloria ....
It is so true that most interesting activity occurs around the edges and that includes the seasons for real or used in metaphor for our passages through life.
Love the artwork that complements your philosophical thought.
A most enjoyable read. :)

As we age, I think it feels more like "pale wisps of change" (very cool phrase!). However, when we were young the changes in mind and body were quite drastic!

A fine write and I think we can live with the subtle changes, It's the big changes we have a problem with. This is sweetened by the 'pale wisps' Melissa, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thanks so Dolly... I am trying to grab new, ethereal words to add to the verses. I am hoping to expand my descriptive abilities. Jim is teaching us that in FV, the words are the building blocks and must do double duty since there is no form or rhyme to use as tools. Sorry for rambling. :). Thank you.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
There are changes that come on like gang busters. Then there are those that happen gradually, inch by inch so to speak--some good and some bad. This is a fine poem, conveying a powerful message about time and change.

An interesting verse describing an interesting photo. Is that curious colour achieved with some kind of filter? It surely cannot be natural. Or is it just you, looking at life through rose-tinted spectacles?

Melissa, great job with this short and creative poem. I'd much rather have wisps of change than a tsunami of change. Interesting tinted picture that you found to go along with it.
