November

Very pretty. Can't wait to experience this for myself again next week.

Oh, hey!

Yes, I hope you have a great time:)

The air was so fresh tonight I had to have a campfire to get it back to its regular funk.

How delightful is this!  Particularly enjoyed the transition from first stanza to second

and silhouettes for every eye

of leafless branch and naked twig


Is this one of those Rispetto (?) poems?  

Well we can call this one rispetto inspired or rispetto derivative since what I discovered was that the one I titled "An Autumn Rispetto" I wrote trying to be as faithful to the rules as I could, but this one I had to use a slightly shorter syllable count per line in order to shoehorn it into a Bluesky post, and I also was a little different with the rhyme scheme, which I think the rispetto rules may allow for, but I will have to double check the form tradition rules. There's a vast world of poetic possibility between the strict rules of traditional form and free verse.

One of my favorite poets is A.E. Stallings, (professor of poetry at Oxford), whose work plays around in this gray area between free verse and formalist poetry, and while I tend to stick to the rules when I'm learning a new form, it's fun sometimes to let my hair down and see what happens, and sometimes a seemingly arbitrary techno obstacle will force me to make adjustments, like with Bluesky or Twitter.  

Indeed. I state as such in one of my pieces.
I agree!

LoL !!

All of which read quite well, if I may say:)

Gotta love that change at this time of year.
Nicely done.

For everything there is a season 🍁
