1. *Sigh* I want to print this and hang it somewhere where I can see it for the rest of autumn, it was so beautifully written.

   such lyrical prose, such heart.

   • Thank you… 🙂 I enjoyed writing it without doing so much form to it.

2. Haiku which is so spiritual, here being used to ask life’s greatest questions. Brilliant!

3. Sometimes it seems the wind answers in mysterious ways! Very depthful writing today, Bjorn.

4. oh wow björn…so felt… that is probably my fav poem that i read by you so far.. the exposed vein – blushing – so much vulnerability in this…awesome write

5. So beautifully written! And makes me want to cry

6. You’ve made the page come alive, Bjorn…. came dancing down sounds like a falling leaf.

7. It seems you found a little magic in the breeze !!

8. And so today we get stanzas of Haiku; you are a wonder, Bjorn. This is a lovely poem, sad yet beauteous, short but poignant. The imagery is vivid, the message is clear; thanks.

9. Bjorn, you put into words what I have been feeling — gorgeous, thank you.

10. Bjorn – such a beautiful poem -the question to the wind and the response – just lovely K

11. a beautiful and melancholy season (and poem!)

12. I like this little vignette Björn! A short but meaningful moment.

13. Very moving piece.

14. And I learn a new word too… Thank you, Bjorn, a thought-provoking and charming little poem.

15. mmm there is something to this…i love how you ask the question and nature answers….nature often has the answers if we are will ing to look…..smiles.

16. Beautiful and affecting, thank you!

17. Nature always answers our hardest questions according to romantic poet William Cullen Bryant. Your poem answers the same question as his “Thanatopsis,” but with much more beauty and accessibility. Bravo.

18. fantastic piece

19. This poem is breathtaking! Nature, full of beauty and intrigue, and all we need do is open our eyes.

20. such a beautiful feeling is evoked when reading this..Autumn has always seemed to me to hold the answers in the circle of life.Of course observing nature is the way to understanding life..you eloquently express that in this lovely poem

21. wow, this spoke to me. Beautiful.

22. The story of the leaf: It’s all downhill from here. Well done.

23. I too wrote of falling leaves
    they surround us now, beautiful even in the dying

24. This should be painted on a leaf, and then set free. And then found again and framed. To remind us.

25. I relate so closely. Although I love autumn, the colors, the scents, I feel sad at a season of dying. Beautiful work.

26. So it dies, i love this figure in the poem, and i think i do understand too!

27. Simply beautiful!

28. Truly wonderful!

29. a single leaf
    came dancing down

    =====================================

    I picture leaves dancing in mid-air, making people think about life and its beauty it gives us. 🙂

    Nice touch my friend. 🙂

30. I see we both responded to autumn today in 5/7/5 – great minds thinking alike no doubt (smiles). I love your dancing metaphor – so apt, and so philosophical – falling leaves surprises one that way. Loved it.

31. Perfect question and response Bjorn ~ Nothing more needed to be said, the imagery is just superb ~

32. Bjorn,
    It is always wonderful when the wind speaks leaving a message..

33. Blush…I had to look up the word arcanum. Thanks! I do love to learn new words…but this (as usual) is so much meaning in so little words…I like that. Profound. 😉

34. Reminds me of Bob Dylan, “the answer is blowing in the wind”. Beautiful!

35. Beautiful work–a powerful lesson here as well. Nature teaches us if we take the time to listen.

36. This is filled with truth and beauty, my favorite kind of moments. Just lovely.

37. Those moments of looking for omens are almost frighteningly raw, and something about this leaf baring itself suits that — it’s eloquently expressed at the same time as conveying the risk.

38. This has an ethereal feel – mystical and just lovely.

39. A great poem…and I learned a new word 🙂

40. really lovely.

41. Too powerful words – a wonderful evocation of nature, even if it was the landscape to your subject matter. Really very good

42. Really gorgeous, Bjorn. It flows beautifully.

    Pamela

43. I like this. Made me feel that leaf. I love your last line, it sums up so much yet leave the mystery.

44. For me..Yesterday..IT is a butterfly never seen before…thanks for reminding me of that ‘most’ beautiful butterfly through your words..and thankful I am to have pictures of IT now2..as a result of a handyiphone3…i mean 5…smiles…

45. Beautiful BR I thank you for my new word also ‘arcanum’, Blushing veins exposed what a splendid line and I loved the form – thank you.

46. Bjorn, what a touching moment in life. Nature teaches us a lot, if we let her. This imagery was crystalline in my mind! Amy
