I can feel the swirling autumn leaves around me now! 🍂 Great poem. And love the art too—reminds me of the video game Hollow Knight if you happen to be familiar with that.

Cool Zane! I’m a little late to the party but well done. The art work is great. I liked the creativity of the stanza titles weaving them all together and I think my favorite stanza was the final one - very rich. Well done and thank you for sharing!

"On these streets it's the shadows that show us where to go." Oh my goodness, I loved that line! The art mixed with the poetic tale? You both knocked it out of the park. Incredibly vivid and close. I really enjoyed reading a different style in your voice!

Fun one, Zane! I like the creative direction you afforded yourself—different kind of approach and I think it paid off. Very appropriate for the season!

Thanks Rosa! Yes, definitely very different haha. I always enjoy trying to push myself in new ways, and especially when it comes to my writing. It was fun to explore some darker themes of October, and tell a narrative through that.
