    Cindy,
    You know how much I love nature poems and this one is no different. It exudes all of the beauty of the season. I love this season and it is by far my favorite. I love how you tied in your vision of what you see from your window.

    Glancing out my window
    Light Autumn breezes blow
    Playfully dancing through
    The arms of my old tree

    ^^ I love how you worded the wind playing in the trees dancing. Ownership of the tree, letting someone know that this grand oak is your vision and what you see.

    Summer season coming to an end
    Yet a new one awaits it's birth
    Soon yellow will tinge green
    On leaves I've come to love

    ^^ Some people overlook the beauty in the simple things and the leaves you have come to love are a reminder of the beautiful things in life are sometimes right in front of us.

    One stately oak tree
    My vision of the outside world
    Allowing me to see
    Vivid colors of nature's Fall

    ^^ Again this is your vision and a majestic one at that. I love the description of how stately and majestic you have made the beautiful oak.

    Wonderful job on a nature poem Cindy. I am so glad to see you writing outside the box so to speak. What a different level you have taken to provide the reader with a great description.

    Cindy,

    I see you too have an affinity for nature, specifically trees, an oak in this case.

    Oak trees are to me, like old wise symbols of nature. They survey the landscape, quietly, methodically taking stock of all comings and goings. They gather this information and have over the years, hundreds of them learnt about man and his dark nature.

    In this poem, you praise not only the wise oak, but also the beauty of autumn and its place in the cycle of life, yours and the oak. You describe this relationship and it is clearly respectful. The oak has arms, making it almost human, suggesting that it does in fact posess wisdom.

    This is a colourful poem that has a richness of maturity that lends itself nicely to its theme. A poem complimenting mother nature on her wonders, one of them being her stately trees!

    Well done

    Michael
