This is a contemporary poem written this autumn by American poet Henry Gould. The musicality and lush imagery of this short poem so captured me when I read it on Halloween night that rushed to do a song setting the next morning. Gould has been generous enough to allow me to share it with the Parlando Project listeners. The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done over 850 of these combinations over the years and you can hear any of them and read about our encounter with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
