Reviews

[Fairy Khan]

Kismet is also an urdu word, one of the languages that I know. It's really a beautiful language!
You say so much in the numbered words you have used. Beautiful.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Fairy for such an encouraging review. I didn't know that Kismet is an urdu word, so I am delighted to have learned that.

Smart writing with that dash of clever. It's great when you can create a vision in so few words. Definitely enjoyed it

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you duff. Appreciate your visit.

The title & first line use words that roll off the tongue smoothly . . . then come the c's & k's & t's which have the effect of reading like bumping leaves, so we feel the turbulence on the water (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Margie. Much appreciated.

I had a feeling that this was like the destiny of lovers and when the words in a poetry about things in nature that replicate the human emotions then it is such a special kind of feeling. Both the beauty of love and of autumn is very special.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you dear Serena. Good to see you.

And as you are entranced bythose floating leaves.... CRASH... "Where the hell did that 8000 berth cruiser come from?" 😀

[Chris Shaw]

You wouldn't be far wrong Lorry because very close to this little delight of nature, a boat the size of a blooming ship was making a mess of mooring :)) Thank you.

I can see the the leaves intersecting as they fall. A beautiful mess of colour.

[Chris Shaw]

It was beautiful Ana. Gold leaves on dark waters. Thank you.

A colourful, descriptive haiku that gives visions of a peaceful river/canal bank with the water meandering past gently with summer/autumn sunshine reflected.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you John. It was indeed a peaceful setting and the gold leaves drifting towards one another let the mind drift too.
