You have made excellent use of every syllable in this clever 5-7-5. Personification is the perfect figure of speech for conveying the theme.

Rather spooky I poem feel, yes its the but that's just the aim of the poem, to get people only interested in themselves and little of others. Yes the Halloween, dead levees fall unto the ground. Well, the poem itself if really nice and well done.

I've never thought of leaves jumping back onto the tree. This is an original and very well expressed. Since I have been raking leaves all morning this was especially fun for me to read. Great poem and I love the picture you chose. Blessings sent your way for the contest!

This is a good 5-7-5 and a perfect poem to read here today. It started snowing a couple of hours ago, and I bet the leaves wish they were still on the tree. Good word selection paints a picture in the reader's mind. Good luck in the contest~Debbie

Wow, this will be a terrible sight to behold. I'm sure it's a component of dreams or more appropriately, nightmares. Very good Halloween poem. cheers

This poem 5-7-5(Leaves in Fright) is a nicely composed poem for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest entry. It is a poem about the Halloween time and it is presented nicely but it is only a poet's imagination that would never happens in real life.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I like your poem and think that the picture is quite interesting. Kind of like playing a film in reverse. I was all set to give five stars, then I re-read it again and looked at the picture and decided that it deserved more. A very interesting concept that adds new dimensions to the meaning of frightened.

Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing, Brent.
