    Poem Commentary

    For my daughter Emily a remarkable person by any standard

    Emily Walking Through Trees

    She stalked down the leaf covered pathway
    Leaves shin deep scattered in her passage
    The trees bent in homage with the breeze

    The bare branches swept up in her sway
    With her raven hair and pale visage
    She in turn was moved by the woods pleas

    Stretched her arms outward along the way
    Note for note and message for message
    Showered in reds, browns, and golden ease

    Wonderfully subtle rhyme scheme in this tender vision of youth in the fall. Utterly enchanting. A pleasure to read and enjoy. ~Pamela

    This is truly beautiful, what poetry is all about.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
