This is just beautiful Mark...fall is my favorite season. I told my girls I want my ashes spread up north at my favorite falls in the fall.

Beautifully done, Mark. You really are a dab hand at this sonnet lark.

All the best

DEAR MEMBERS: I wanted to nominate the poem from my own account but nominated the poem by mistake from the Mod account rather than from this account. Sorry for the inconvenience. I thought I got logged out.

As for Mark. The piece is such a gem. The style, the structure, the word choice, the story behind it and the emotions within it. It all gave me a special feeling. It is a special poem.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. And you have displayed life lessons beautifully and intertwined them with nature's seasons.

I hope others see the beauty of this piece as much as I have.

Mark, Rania, I would have nominated this too, so all is well.

Wow, this is really superb. I love the powerful imagery - an emotional piece that is tied up nicely in the last couplet. - straight to my favourites. Milly x

Mark, this is sublime fella :)

Lovely, Mark!
