Rather lovely.





The same leaves over and over again!
They fall from giving shade above
To make one texture of faded brown
And fit the earth like a leather glove.

~Robert Frost, "In Hardwood Groves"








Eugene Galien-Laloue


Autumn is rich and ripe and rather lovely, isn't it?


Encourage one another,
Donna

    2. Wendell is my poetry crush (-; Great poem, Jep!

      Love the picture. There is something about flower stands that jump out for me. Like your banner, Donna.

      Love,

    this post just makes me all mushy inside - the art, the verse, the comment from jep and WB reference.

    The scene in the painting is so Parisienne. *LOVE* it.

    Oh so very happy that you enjoyed the WB poem.
    I once had a student who said, "Poetry is words dancing."
    I like that and I love you each one here, you are so very dear!

    Thank you Donna and Jep for the poems. That painting is beautiful. I'm loving fall this year. The weather has been pleasant. The light in the evening is glorious.
