Really enjoyed your poem especially the last three lines - so much truth to all you wrote - also, thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment.

Crunching on a carpet of leaves has been an awesome experience for me during the Indian summer part of this Autumn.  I know I have taken some of it with me  as your poem  aptlly says!

Yes and I will stick a post in you it would be unnatural give others a bit of a chance first. I must say your poetry is improving rapidly we shall soon be able to criticize it as you could be brill if a firm hand is taken. Don't fob us off John now we know what you are capable of. A fan.
