The blue sky has conceded to cold grey arches. There is little tending to the grieving dark or dead leaves fallen detached by laws of seasons thrust from the past into the present. Having lost the sun her destiny is the hard earth. What remains is a treasure of clay and a potters wheel behind a sleeping black widow spider.She breathes warm breath on to her frozen fingers until once again she is malleable bent and shaped into her own likeness.

‘She breathes warm breath on frozen fingers’ – Immaculate – powering imagery. Loved the whole thing but that line hangs in there as metaphor supreme. ~ George

That’s not true, Holly. I really edit again and again as I cut down, resize, delete, change, get my Thesaurus out … all to get a flow and a great read. I’m “known” for my photography and I’ve really been trying to be known for being a writer as well. I am SO touched by what you said to me here. Bless you! 🤗💝

I love the autumn season. It is a powerful metaphor for me and it ends far too soon. This was a mezmerizing poem until I got to the sleeping spider and my eyes popped open and the visual scene played out. I too hope to own a hardbound copy of your poems someday. I’ll have to buy two copies, one to wear out the pages reading and the other as a keepsake for my daughters and granddaughters.

Bonjour ou bonsoir mon Ami AMIE HEART

Je te souhaite plein de bonnes choses
La beauté du silence
La gloire de la lumière
Le mystère de la pénombre
La force de la flamme
Le pouvoir de l’eau
La douceur de l’air
La force tranquille de la terre
L’amour qui se trouve
aux racines des choses
Je te souhaite de passer une agréable journée
Riche de joie et de bonheur et du soleil dans le cœur
Reçois ce petit câlin……et ce bisou ce matin
Et aussi ce soir
Bonne journée et bonne soirée douce nuit

Whoa, Holly! The seasons reflect some people in their true selves. I have met winter cold people while met malleable autumn clay people. I feel like a summer, skipping and sunny person, what about you? Are you like a chameleon? Change and go with the flow. . . a stream, a waterfall, or a trickle depending on the day. . .
