I had no trouble imagining myself looking through my living room window enjoying the scenery from the warmth of my apartment.
You paint a pretty picture. I love October when the weather is perfect and the air is crisp. Karen

I enjoyed reading this poem. Your rhyming was great, and your picture selection fit your poem perfectly. The story was good and easy to read. I have only one question, did you mean to say mold instead of molt in the first stanza, last word?

    Thank you so much for the extra star and for your delightful comments. I could not use mold for molt because they have two different meanings. Are used mould instead. Thank you for the suggestion

    I couldn't use mold because mold and moltmeans to different things

Hello Pam,
This is an excellent poem of the seasons
with very good rhymes, both internal and external.
The descriptive imagery works well, I like all the seasons
except for winter. The older I get the less I like snow, ice and cold.
Nicely done.
Best wishes.
Robert

Your poem does a very job of bringing describing the shifting seasons, and the message that each season has its own rewards. Enjoy each moment. Thank you.

A lovely seasonal poem with great meter and rhyme! I'm glad that you are skipping ahead to spring as autumn is encroaching in the northern hemisphere.
Hope your surgery went well and that you are recovering quickly!

This poem, Robins Come Out in Spring, presented with seven AABB-rhymed quatrains, hails the coming spring that allows for life to return and those chirping birds to come back.

A really delightful poem. I do however offer a minor suggestion. Please feel free to discard. Suggestion. First verse, line four. 'As the leaves digest into rot as they mould.' Maintains the rhyme and meter, 'cold and mould.'
Hope this doesn't offend.

    hi Bob. No it doesn't offend at all. It's actually a good suggestion. Somebody had suggested mold, but that didn't fit but Mould does. Thanks
    !!!

    I should give you a six star rating

Pam,
This is a wonderful and uplifting poem for me!
I dread everything about winter, except for Christmas and the Super Bowl.
The way you transition to spring is the way that time is: growth at first slow, but steady.
Exceptional poem, Pam.
Best wishes,
Cindy

I've seen Robin with at least three or four worms hanging off their beek waiting to feed their young. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing! Have a great day, and God bless.
