The moment is elusive as old verse.
Music only suggests its fragile self.
Moon drops fall beautiful upon bare panes
The chill dances through labyrinths of trees.
The ancient loveliness of autumn's lamp
patterns the night like lace on humankind.
You promise me the mood will never end.
Smoke swirls through stanzas of infinity.

You have captured autumn's gracious beauty in this enchanting poem that interestingly, lacks the melancholy that often haunts your work. I continue to enjoy your use of iambic pentameter which fits perfectly with the theme and mood of this piece. love, Alison ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Well I say I am amused, most people do not have the money to be able to copyright their poems, since it is a quite expensive task, me myself being the owner of 100. This piece is quite implicit with meaning, as it has a gorgeous meaning. Great write, I will continue to follow thou pieces. With due respect, Jay Falcon USA
The ultimate writ of romance and sensual exploration....or....is it just...my imagination? Excellent!
Music, verse and nature are artfully woven together to invoke a peaceful mood that combines the best of all of their attributes. This is vintage Sandra and is such a joy and comfort to read. I would like to comment on Javier's message regarding copyright. Copyright law is based on ownership. Sandra has declared that she owned the poem in 2008. She is entitled to declare that fact on her work whether she registers it with the Library of Congress or not. So it is with all the rest of us regarding our own work. Registration with the L of C provides powerful evidence of ownership of your creative property in case of disputes but you are protected by copyright law anyway. It could however be a real pain to prove in court without documentation which registration provides.
