Comment from Charles W. Johnson
Excellent work. Smooth meter, unique word choices on the rhymes, vividly descriptive metaphors. A poem that uses most of a poet's tools. A very pleasant read. Thank you. Congrats.

Comment from Eternal Muse
This is absolutely beautiful. As someone who loves structured rhymed poetry this was a real treat to me. I can't believe you only started writing 4 years ago - there are the words of a seasoned poet.
I loved the metaphors used, the meter, rhyme and cadence.
The presentation is delightful. I enjoyed it very much.

Love how the writers embrace their world with words. They paint pictures of watercolor, oils, pastels and draw the readers into the imagery. Your poem captured that magic. Well done. Gretchen

An inspiring poem filled with beautiful imagery, colorful and with effective seasonal resonance stirred into life by the 'deep truths' of 'Old writers'- who 'share deep truths they understand'

Melissa, what you say is true about us old writers. Are we wise and do we truly understand deep truths? I don't know, but we DO appreciate the changing seasons more and sunshine's warmth, and a baby's coos and smiles. Thanks for reminding me of these pleasures. Rod

Yes, We have a lot to say, Melissa. It is just hard to get the youth to listen to us. We didn't get this old by being stupid. LOL This is well done. I love the picture and this "like autumn colors bleeding red," and this.
"and sunshine's warmth on graying heads." Yes! Nancy:)
