Thank you for participating! We know that poets and poems usually celebrate resplendence in the lushness of spring but this poem by Maggie Smith has a few gorgeous, vivid images of fall that we can't help but respond to very strongly 🍁
What a wonderful theme! Here is Polish poet Wisława Anna Szymborska's 'Love at First Sight', a paean to serendipity & destiny
Ouch, but here you go: Jessie Fauset's 'La Vie C'est La Vie'
We believe @adalimon's 'The Problem with Travel' answers that description very well :)
