Autumn Among the transitional winds Of decline and melancholy, She silently bleeds In exhilarating beauty.

This is my ten-form poetry submission to the first annual ATTYS competition. All ten poems are related to the process of coming to terms with different life situations: a miscarriage, the death of a loved one in the Vietnam war; a political abduction; the ex-pat life; a battered wife; betrayal; Alzheimer's Disease; drought; isolation; a mother/daughter relationship. Thank you for reading my submission. I hope these poems "speak" to you!

This collection will contain longer poems with no set theme. Short stories. Philosophical statements/discussion. General musings. All of my individual madness.

Hopefully this challenge will give me the motivation to write more poetry :P
