And so on this last day of April I am trying to make a list of all who participated in this challenge, intending to meticulously work my way through each "thirty days" worth of postings for napowrimo. (smile)

(If you know where I can find the list of all participants please PM me!)

I like the width and breadth of your theme. The only thing permanent is that there will me change ~ and in so many ways!

I like your abc, abc, abc, abc three linie stanzas...and indeed, I also would prefer less cold and "dour" winters and more sunshine days --literally and metaphorically!

I'm just embarking on your journey... Congrats on taking on the challenge, and I look forward to each of your entries!

Karenina

There is much to enjoy in this poem. Some lines or phrases I enjoyed especially: arrival of autumn's archway and slowing the steps of life's ballet. The latter is an excellent metaphor.

Ingenious. Well done. Here and there it seems a syllable too many but it works. There's little left to say so what follows is an attempt to meet the requirements of FanStory's CEC. They are sticklers that 150 characters be used regardless of the form written.

    This is the first time I have read this restriction, where are the CEC?s located
reply by Tom Horonzy on 01-Apr-2023
    What? Any time I comment and don't have the necessary characters typed a message appears reminding 150 characters are needed. Since it is asking for more would that be restrictive?

    Oh... My slow brain waves were notoriously firing on on eighth cylindersmeho I responded. Yes 150 characters can be a bit much

You embrace all the seasons here in your poem Jim and we have no choice as seasons are not controlled by us so we may as well enjoy them all and as you say each season offers us different sights, sounds and smells. Your poem not only includes the seasons, but also your opinion of them, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
