  1. Dear J. T.
    Wonderful shape poem! It reminds of a similar poem by e.e.cummings. However, cummings' shape poem tracks straight downward.
    Blessings,

  5. J.T. I enjoyed "The Summer Is Past." I also love the creative way in which you shared it with us. I also envision that "leaf's lonely trip down." Beautiful imagery. Thank you for sharing and continued blessings!
