Beautiful. I love the way you are alert to “the details” and draw such loving musings from them.

This is so beautiful. I love those first signs of fall and how the light shifts. This poem captures this so well.

Wow! Beautiful writing

'And isn’t it a prayer,

to notice

what’s noticed?

The prayer,

the practice, the way

one walks through

an unimagined world' .

You’ve evoked the watery shadowy and then blazing atmosphere of this odd season. I like the way you’ve connected the stanzas with word.
