I LOVE it, Chris. It's very much in the same theme and tone of one of my favorite poems I wrote this past month as well. Sweet Demise (can't even remember its full title but it's blank verse) This one of yours deserves a SEVEN

wow, working on a novel, Huh? Probably I knew that a long time ago!! I am seeing the ending of this poem and it reminds me of an ee cummings poem I once read. Now let me read this poem of yours.

This is so lovely, Chris! October winds gift you with inspiration! I also like the layout....do I see a kite flying with the wind? May I add that you too have been reaching new heights as regards poetry writing:) Regards // paul

Thanks so much for the lovely comments Paul! Another souper observed a kite as well...I really just intended for the lines to look windswept, but now I see it does look like a kite! happy accident I guess:) Have great day:)

Seasons bring back sweetest memories, drawing us in and out of ourselves. Nicely written.

Enchanting winds, October brings out the magic in poets. "As they serenade a final fair" love that line and the form, I feel blown away. :)
