The first, the darkest, the most alarming of Coyote's poetry.
"Autumn Flavours" with a 'u'?
I graduated high school in St. John's, Newfoundland.
They spell "flavors" with the Olde-English "flavours."
I liked it. I was raised in California, but I changed many of my words to the British spellings and kept them that way when I returned to the USA.
For the title of the poetry book I decided to keep the title, AUTUMN FLAVOURS, as I'd originally intended. My Americanization will be the website name of
When I wrote Autumn Flavours I visualized life as sets of seasons.
Not one set of seasons for your whole life, but ONE SET of seasons for EACH SECTION OF YOUR LIFE.
So, four seasons of being a teenager, four seasons of being in your twenties...
These seasons are not symetrical.
It's up to each person to determine how long each season lasts.
Some people get stuck in this "Autumn" and then never progress to love and wisdom.
You can apply this season concept to projects and jobs also.
For now, Autumn will be the dark, creepy, scary, insecure, and unhappy place we all pass through and must conquer for each phase of our life.
Sincerely,
Coyote
