Awesome poems, both! I have a little maple leaf, too. I might have to take it out and give it some show time!

Ooh I love the second poem! I always find myself wearing lots of deep yellows, reds, and oranges in fall.

So glad you liked A Perfect Red! I read a lot of Dickinson while writing the book (and before and since, too). She's a wonderful poet for color.

Dude. I completely never put you together with that book until today. *headsmack* I LOVE your book!
