Autumn insects sing the shadows thin.

You mix your ingredients (color, sound and texture) with the finesse of a cordon bleu chef. You stir them with a compassionate spoon, bake them for just the right amount of time, then present them with an artist's eye. Your poetry traces similar themes, and yet each poem is startlingly unique - like this one. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Sandra, your word usage is absolutely intoxicating. This is a remarkable poem, with a very striking title, 'Killing Fost'. I truly enjoyed the read and looking forward to more and more. Melvina

Sandra, Your work always expands for me the borders of my very limited understanding of so many things, most especially the power - the incredible power - of love. Bill Grace

yes it is that old frost is what does it. fall is beautiful with all those colors, then comes frost and kills it. a very well put together piece of wonderful poetry.

What an exquisite job you did of integrating autumn and human experience in this beautiful love poem. I loved the rich use of so many of the senses, rather than mostly the visual. It's difficult to make heavy use of rhyme without having it clamour. Your rhyme did not clamor. It rose in a harmonious cloud of music. Warmest Best Wishes, Mary

Excellent Sandra! the trembling of a leaf on the tin roof like a heart-beat? Oh! what a marvelous picture you have drawn.

The rhyming of the poem is excellent. The metaphor and simile speak volume of the poet's talent to bring out her inner feelings into the surface thro' her own style of presentation to the reading pleasure of the poetry world. She deserves all the praise for this.

Your poems are always lovely and so often have a sweet sense of sadness, which is the poetry I love the best.
