this day, wrapped in gold
and scarlet leaves on the wind
beneath the gray sky.
gold and ruby leaves
banked on hillsides, dancing light
pure incandescence.

John’s gift
your love, unstinted
enfolding me forever
only gift desired.

Day, nature and relationship all perfectly wrapped in words and offered as a gift to the reader.
Nicely done.
How absolutely lovely Sue. You've certainly paid tribute to this wonderful prompt.

You've covered everything...and beautifully!
These are all so lovely! John gift sounds like a once in a lifetime treasure!
All three of these are beautiful. Would that we all had someone like John in our lives. A precious gift indeed...
thanks, the title "John's gift" has two meanings, his gift to me, and the poem as an anniversary (10/29) gift to him.
I like the image of the leaves banked on the hillside. It makes me think of the banked fires that awaited my return on cold fall days when I lived in Ireland.
These are lovely and honorable gifts!
Hi Sue, I like the last poem best. I too have a beagle, her love is unstinted and enfolds me forever.
Just search for Adi or Adi Can on my blogs to visit her.
Or was I correct with my first reading before I saw the picture, the guy by the dog is your (author's) special gift?
:-)

Sue, these are so neat. They make me feel very happy. I like they way you put your page together, too.
Like these a lot--especially the one to John!!
These are all gems. I like the way you catch the immediate gifts of the moment in words.
a trifold snapshot of life captured beautifully... leaves on the wind...
..a lovely 'incandescence' of emotions..many thanks..
this time of year i find myself pausing under trees during my walks or wanting to pull over while driving just to drink in what you say in the 2nd poem.
& the 3rd, well, that just says it all!!
