i – First Frost
Sultry Angel Eyes
Fog outside
Hot fire in crisp
Green-grey air
And my dark hair
Partially in my eye
The view like country
House and garden
Waugh, Vetriano
That Poliakoff one
A moment is a moment
Autumn
Both here and there
In frost-filled air
Strains of saxophone
Just as much home
Then as now.
ooh, nice

I love the short lines, but watch out for cliches and unnecessary use of colour-words.

personal thing – but yes, seeing as one of my chief concerns with poetry is it sounding nice – the use of names i don't know is enough for a poem to totally miff me.
but on the other hand i like the mystery…
