What a crisp new way to present a fairly traditional theme about seasons, cycles, rebirth. I also love your bossiness--oh, okay, your authority--with "and it is." I hear something like, "Knock it off with all your false modesty, people. Some things simply ARE messages. Pay attention." And after the somewhat lyrical, traditional, even biblical "falling," we get a couple of left jabs--a little one in "source" and then a real sock in "repair"--no-nonsense language from some instructional manual. Yet the "message" is one of renewal and comfort.
So true! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Hannah.
ReplyDeleteYou too, Maureen!

This one's top notch for me, Hannah.
Hey, thanks for the compliment on the bossiness (and the kind words in general). That is a fun word to describe authority, I think :).
DeleteWhat a clever poem...I wish I knew all of the world's secrets ...happy thanksgiving to you and yours Hannah!
