Perhaps there is no comfortable resolution but the end. A list. Feels like a kind of working out. And i was pleased there was an Ah, Autumn..we must take relief where we can..however fleeting and even if we know we will be woken again Jae Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11509244123008832611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-43812178564986023862014-07-11T08:11:43.924-11:002014-07-11T08:11:43.924-11:00Epic write.

The theme of Autumn and rain seems to me to be an extended metaphor. I kept thinking of tears and sobs throughout it. The images are amazingly striking and even the musical references had me running to the piano to play the chord sequence, which had such a forlorn sound! The prose interspersed with the poetry only increased the poignancy of the latter. Complex and amazing piece!Penthesilea77https://www.blogger.com/profile/17794263567833606018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-9022750523124803162014-05-22T01:06:04.952-11:002014-05-22T01:06:04.952-11:00quite a downpour and wetness permeating....love th...quite a downpour and wetness permeating....love the way the purest drops fall on the ground...lovelySumana Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333363799083094084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-77189017428052884692014-05-22T00:28:03.306-11:002014-05-22T00:28:03.306-11:00The rain.

You have brought the autumn rainy-day experience to life with vivid sensory descriptions throughout. I especially liked the description of the electrical storm. I could see that. (We get those sometime too.) And the wet shoe with the hole in it? Oh, I can feel the cold chill.
