Yes Michael this captures the moment so very well!

Beautifully written Michael! Wonderful to see it nominated.

now I know how the summer feels
as winter slowly begins
to strip its warmth

^ ouch.

Well done.

That moment so well captured. Add to my favorite. Hugs to you

This is a perfect poem.

Every line of your poetry holds such warmth and detail, Michael. An absolute pleasure to read.

All the very best as always,
Ben

Ah! Love this.

Wonderful win Michael!

I'm late to this party, but as I wander amongst the stragglers, the knowledge that this is a belter is clear.
