Poetry Friday - Surprise Gift
Cheriee at her blog, Library Matters, hosts today on Poetry Friday. She's been sharing fascinating poem memories these past weeks (months?) and last week wrote that she was done, now ready to revise. She's sharing a poet from her country, Canada, whose books look and sound great. We don't get many books out of Canada here, but some. I will look for these! Thanks, Cheriee!
Yes, I wrote about autumn, but I didn't intend to until I walked outside this week, near my old and large cottonwood and saw this! Beautiful things happen in this season. I see so many "images" that I love, like busy spiders, knowing that they have much to do before their goodbyes, too. Happy Autumn however it's happening in your neighborhood.

There's a lot of talent up here in Canada, let me tell you! ;-)
Oh how I love autumn, and all its bittersweet beauty.
Love your "heartfelt poem Linda, and all the hearts that you found draped around the tree! Looks like a lovely tree to lallygag in for a while…
Oh, what a perfectly caught moment before a breeze, before rain, before tiny feet or withering. Heartfelt, indeed. You always inspire.
Oh, that heartfelt is just right! Thank you Linda for your words and the picture. Beautiful - like you! xo
This is beautiful Linda - perfect for the picture! ♥️🍂🍁

Thanks, Linda. I've always love Autumn and this is such a beautiful image in 2 part harmony with your lovely words.
Oh, I love the photo-poem duo and its heartfelt message! Happy autumn to you, too!
Thank you everyone. I loved seeing my tree with this 'leaf heart', had to write something to show my love. Fall offers so much to enjoy in nature!
Thanks for that shout out Linda. You are always so kind. Thanks also for the photograph and poem. I am musing on heartfelt as I look outside my window at the cherry tree starting that transformation from green to red.
You're welcome, Cheriee. Watching that cherry tree sounds wonderful.
Linda, you tree posed so nicely for a photo op and you are gracious to acknowledge it in a poetic format. Heartfelt is the right word for this composition. If you would like to send me this image poem for the Abundant Autumn Gallery, I would love to showcase it at the Abundant Autumn Gallery. (it just needs you to add your name.
Thanks, Carol. I will send it! I imagine there will be much to love this autumn!
Because you are always on the lookout, sometimes the poem is just there for you, isn't it? As Pasteur said, "Chance favors the prepared mind." Thank you for sharing your find, and your lovely poem!
I must admit I am usually on the lookout, Catherine! Thanks for the wonderful quote!
What a gorgeous image to cap off an inspired composition.
I love those heartfelt farewells and your keen eye!

I would do anything to feel a hint of fall right now. This is lovely.
