A beautiful poem. Excellent use of assonance; 'and changes abound, resound around me' is a haunting and echoing line. The closing couplet with its subtle half rhyme; 'one/on' is worthy of a Shakespearean play - the repetition of 'oh' sounds puts me in mind of the great Bard's tragedies! S :)
Wonderfully expressed and executed, Christine. There are so many layers in this 'happening' and in your telling of it, that it makes for a incredibly interesting and enjoyable read. The way you lay the words on the page is sort of like an elegant dance... the last waltz of a late summer evening, perhaps. The reader gets carried away by it, but not in such a way as to miss its nuances and style. It's lovely, really, for multiple reasons. Fabulously done! Christine
