Very nice--
We were looking at the leaves today, talking about how lush everything looks here. It's been raining a lot.

Thanks so much for your kind indulgence, Alison, Karen and Bruce, TB and Heather... I am honored... :o)

As you can see, TB, it's much, MUCH drier here than that... I hate to see those green leaves of summer go, my friend...

Intriguing. The capital 'Forge' caught me off-guard, though.

Sarah, thanks so much for your comment... If you'll notice, I capitalized not only "Forge" but, also, "Autumn" -- the implication being that "Autumn's Forge" is a geographical feature or mythological object, as in the "North Pole/Tropic of Cancer" or "Cruel Fate"... (a bit of "loose license", I realize... but it is as I wished to convey it...)

Thank YOU, Frannie! What a lovely compliment!

Cool, Quinn! Glad you got something out of the dream interp... I was considered to be quite good at that in times and places past, you know... ;o)

You are too kind, Janet Louise... Thanks so much!

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, Diane, Nana & Susan! I appreciate it so much!

Thou art marvelous kind, my poetic friend, and decidedly generous in your most welcome praise which hath caused me to think: "If a talented poet such as C.F. believes that I should pursue the composition of more poetry, then, I have no doubt that I should do so!" :o)

Thanks so much, Susan! The photo is of exactly what I was looking at when the idea of the poem came to me... so, I guess it's probably the most appropriate one! :o)
