Your ode to October at the beginning read like a prose poem, so beautifully done. As were all your poems that followed. This first about the naked tree was my favorite. That sense of being alone and exposed, that vulnerability. I enjoyed reading about how you came to write each poem too.

Thank you Deborah. I love contemplating the seasons and how they mirror life’s cycles.

Yes I started added the bit about the meanings a few months ago. I put it at the end in case people want to forgo it and leave it open.

I liked them all, probably the first one best. I especially liked your insight into what you meant with each poem.

Thank you. Yes sometimes the ones involving nature are easier to relate to i think. I started to add the meanings part at the end after seeing someone else do it and the fact i enjoyed reading it when he did it.
