Even though you asked I couldn't give suggestions because I thought it was written perfectly, the use of punctuation was on point, I'm somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to that, thanks for sharing

Hello Phillip
It is always a pleasure to meet another double-L phillip: I am glad to see your parents knew how to spell.
I am also very grateful to you for the positive review.
And I wish you well with your own writing

Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, a superb write as it is - I would not have the audacity to offer suggestions for this remarkable write. It is masterful in its illustrative verse and requires no imagery to add to its perfection. Would that my own writing could reach this articulate and exquisite brilliance. I feel I am in the presence of greatness here...

Hello Evesayshi
I have spent several hours wondering how to reply to you. But I can only assure you that whatever you see as 'craft' is merely 'graft'. I wish it were otherwise.
I am humbled by your kindness: and this is no more than what I would have said to you if I had responded earlier. Dwelling on it has only deepened my appreciation for your words.
I wish you well with your own writing and in the things that matter to you.
cheers

You are welcome, Phill, but I sure you no kindness was demonstrated here, only how I honestly perceived this splendid write. I wish you my highest compliment for your unique gift...Eve

The best person to ask about punctuation is Rama Devi. She's the go to top reviewer on fanstory. Meanwhile, you've employed some great rhyming devices in this work. Some great usage of poetic devices, exquisite alliteration, enjambment, etc. great work, rolls of the tongue beautifully, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Kathy Franklin
I think this piece is perfectly punctuated. The imagery is so vivid; it beckons a clear picture in my mind of a gorgeous fall day. I can almost smell the sweet decay that brings new life after winter works her wonders.

Comment from Shanbreen
Phill, this poem is written so much in the style of my "Coming Home." I absolutely love it. Punctuation wise, I would do away with the comma here:
mottle-flecked decay,
Place the comma before the 'and'.
he world exhales; the stilted sunlight sets
and, coddled, seeds content themselves to dream
Finally,
Contrived in close conspiracies of shade
a lace of frost succeeds the dying light
and, pinned with stars, the night consumes the road.
Comma after 'shade', a semi-colon after 'ight' and remove the comma after 'AND'.
These are my observations. I'm no expert but it would make it easier for me -- to apprecaite the flow of a very well written poem.
