Hello Insert, this poem was

Hello Insert, this poem was more of an autumn in New York memory; there the leaves would slowly change by the end of September to golden, as you drove towards the Island or upstate. September would begin warm, with the last days of summer...
Well structured, introspective poem and relatable matter. The puzzlement of life stumps us all; it can be fragmented, impossible, at times, to piece together its meaning. I did have one suggestion for the ending; I'm not sure you need the last...
The heart and soul of nature, its silent communication to us has always been there for those who in a quiet moment listen and feel its life. Your poem is so well versed and thoughtful, reminding us of nature’s spirit; how we need to stay...

Beautiful poem; I am in awe of these ferns- ancient seedless plants, millions of years in existence -one of the oldest neighbors in the forest. What tales they could tell if they could. I especially loved your last line's offer of respect....
Snippets of recognition in this but not sure I’m correct in my interpretations.For, Fisher king -is that the DJ in the movie with the homeless man (Robin Williams) who he befriends and whose life he had inadvertently destroyed by previous actions...
Grimm's tales certainly are grim (pun intended) never thought they were palatable for young children but definitely thought fine reading for young adults. Your version of this dark account of the Pied Piper was nicely orchestrated and I liked the...
