Hello!
Very creative 5/7/5 poetic offering - especially the last line. Autumn is indeed, a "red carpet affair!"

If I may offer one tiny suggestion, I would employ a tilde (~) after the first two lines to give the offering a satori-like feeling.

Thank you for sharing!

"Autumn's Arrival", is short, succinct and very much to the point. Between each line lies the golden threads of truth. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.

There is such lovely imagery in your poem. Autumn definitely create a beautiful array of colors. Nature can make a real fashion splash with its "red carpet."

Not sure if the poem or picture came first, but they fit each other very well. Nice autumn poem, gets you in the mood. Love the last line. Good luck in the contest

Your excellent 5-7-5 poem, complemented by an outstanding illustration, makes for strong competition in the nature contest.
(I'll be rooting for my own, though.)
Good luck to us both!
Don

In my opinion, this is a dramatic and engaging write - the picture a perfect complement to the artistic rendering of the verse - fully compliant with the prompt. Much luck in the contest...

I like the pun/metaphor with red carpet. Autumn colors do sometimes put on an academy award winning performance. Good luck in the contest. Keep writing.

Perfect choice for illustration. Was the artwork what inspired the poem?
