I loved the gentle imagery that you created, that ended with a poignancy indicated by the falling leaves.
Although not normally a writer ( or lover) of free verse, I felt that this worked particularly well. You may have helped to change my inhibited views. Thank you.

The six deletions above were controversial comments from a wrongly disgruntled being, who took my response to Norman's review out of context.

Your kindness is so gracious … it was not Norman's review, it something misinterpreted in my response to Norman's review that got her knickers in a wad.
Privately, she apologized and all was set straight between us … I never like to let misunderstandings go without making peace.
This is so detailed I felt as though I was right there with in the scene with you, I would
love to see you write more free verse. This is an exceptional piece Richard and very
inspiring read over and over again. me

On your request, I shall make it a point to write more poetry in the Free Verse form.
Hugs 'n blessings to you! ⁓ Richard
Thank you for taking us with you on a solitary stroll full of great imagery that whispers to the senses.
A poem that takes us on a journey to the heart of the speaker, full of longing, aching and desire for reunion.
Alas, as the leaves fall, the memories descend.. The personification used brings an idyllic feeling to the poem engulfing senses and sinking the reader deep in thought.
lovely as usual :)

Your take on this Free Verse poem more than gratifies my efforts to write and share it.
You use emotion as oil paint Richard. This is a fine masterpiece and without rhyme you are freer to express such longing and passion in ink.

Yes, Free Verse has its easier to compose in aspects for most, but for me, there seems to be little difference in ability to express better in one over the other, but it has taken literally thousands of poems and many years practicing to get to that level, and most do not feel,obliged (I guess) to put forth that kind of effort and dedication … then, there is always the different potentials each of us possesses from the onset that can make a difference in whatever form, genré, or style one gravitates to.
Hah! We could discuss poetry (I suspect) 'til the cows come home, eh, My Fine Friend?
Thank you most sincerely, John! ⁓ Richard
