Hi Tony. I have to tell you that your poetry is sublime. As a newbie to this art form, I learn much from the economy of your work. I can see each of these images so clearly, and you use so few words. Beautiful. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

Comment from Joan E.
What a neat picture to reinforce your poem! I enjoyed your use of the Minute poem format and its rhymed quatrains. I especially liked your referring to the wind as a "cleansing breath". Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Thanks, Joan.
Comment from Brett Matthew West
An interesting take on the seasons. Whimsical and lyrical. S3/L1 sets this poem apart, so does personifying the wind. Strong rhyme scheme throughout. S3 also presents the promise of better times ahead.

Hello Tony,
This is an interesting subject for the minute poem -
the ever changing seasons, aided by the winds.
You have very good connection in these lines which
are often jerky due to the format.
As we near the end of summer, the minutes are slowly slipping away
as will the leaves, but the leaves will return, like Persephone,
though the minutes are gone forever.
Well done.
Best wishes.
Robert

Time slips by with the seasons and, talking of time, I've just finished reading 'When You Wish'. Some marvellous tales there and unexpected twists in the wrinkles of time. I particularly liked the staircase. There are dangers in relentless curiosity! Great to revisit Veronica and Mildred, too.
I left a short review on Amazon

I like the selected ingredients used for this stir, captivating thoughts appealing to my interests, finding one possible suggestion: death,"
it as brown leaves seems to say sway. All in my given opinion.

Comment from Susan Louise Gabriel
A beautiful expression and description of fall's effects on vegetation, and the hope that accompanies spring. I loved the line "It gives a tug and set them free."
Well done!

Comment from Cass Carlton
Here is a short poem about the wind. It speaks of change. Changing from
tattered leaves clinging to a bare branch to leaves under foot, mulch for new plants to be nourished. There is a lot in this piece. Although brief in content it is rich in images and symbolism that set the mind working. A very interesting poem. Well done cheers Cass

Ah, how refreshing to read your beautiful verses, Tony. I didn't realise how much I had missed them. This one may be small but it's a gem and I enjoyed it a lot. The fine language puts it up a notch o two. Giddy :-)

Comment from Steven Hicks
Your controlling idea of wind here caused the piece to move throughout as if being blown by the wind. I could feel the movement. The final stanza makes the reader stop to think. Great Job.

Comment from Mimi Linny
Beautifully written minute poem on the perceptive, freeing wind and changes through the seasons. Loved "Persephone will bring fresh birth..." as the closing verse to a wonderful piece of poetry.
