Gypsy,
I like your using fall as a backdrop for your poem. Autumn reminds me of a desolate season l, and maybe you put 'missing you' for that reason.
Very nice work,
Blessings,
Cindy

Virtual six on this one, but no more left in my pocket. The last line is brilliant and penetrates into the images that come before it. So well done. Hope all is well.

I can imagine standing and looking at this scene, my heart full of sorrow and loss... Perhaps a spouse? A child? A friend? The beauty of your poem is it could be any grief... We can each imagine our own moment thinking this very thing. Beautifully done!

This would be difficult to visit the "same creek" as "we" used to visit. Then let the dusk settle in around me. Just the thought makes me melancholy and I have not even lost the one I love yet.

Very nicely worded

It's a sad poem and solemn poem. You or someone is missing a loved one. The creek reminded her of her/him. I wonder what would happen if it is a sunny day.

Well done.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Your image and poem are so wonderful to read. Evidently, some romantic event occurred so you returned to this place again in reality. Best of luck with your entry in the contest.

I like the way this cute thematic poem is heading, it sort of pulls in opposite directions. There's the order of the first line, and followed neatly btpynthe second, and then the third unravels that order. Well done Gypsy, blessings Roy
