Autumn's Encore by Jacqueline Jules

Jacqueline Jules is a former librarian who found herself intrigued by almost every book she put on the shelf. As a reader and as a writer, she doesn’t restrict herself to one genre. She is the author of 50 books for young readers on a wide variety of topics, including two poetry books for young readers, Tag Your Dreams: Poems of Play and Persistence (Albert Whitman, 2020), and Smoke at the Pentagon: Poems to Remember (Bushel & Peck, 2023). Jacqueline is also the author of four poetry books for adults, including a collection of biblically inspired poems, Manna in the Morning (Kelsay Books, 2021). After 26 years in Virginia, she moved to Long Island to be closer to her grandchildren. Learn more about her at www.jacquelinejules.com.

I was drawn in by the title "Autumn's Encore" and tossed immediately in the scene of this cinematic sensual musical poem. I could see the gold and red show, feel the warm air and the leaves caress my sneakers as I listen to the song of autumn. Favorite images: loving sun and finale of frost.
