Autumn’s Breeze
Forestall that chilling breath which augurs change and pirouettes the leaves in slow ballets on air. Your choreographies arrange them on the ground in colors that amaze. Spare some that early fate while summer wanes to give the forests time to fully blaze and me, warm afternoons in quiet lanes to thank how nature's palette lets me gaze. the last line did read: to see how nature's palette can amaze ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner       |

Hey, Larry...
I told you you'd get good comment. A say again, I think this is maybe your loveliest poem that I've read... and you know that I've probably read more of your poems than anyone! The only thing I see missing in this one is the apostrophe after 'nature'. deLighting in your writing, Daniel
