The last part of every season is sad. Each season presents different opportunities. Once that season is gone, we are faced with the loss. This was a beautifully written poem . Such great imagery throughout. Gretchen

This is a beautiful rendition of the changing of the seasons -inevitable but done with dignity and grace, as Autumn exits the stage and Winter must arrive - lovely pic

This is so beautiful and gives a bit of melancholy to the fleeing of warm winds and warm, sunny days. I enjoyed it and the lovely flow. Good choice of end rhymes enhance this Quatern. Good luck.

Comment from royowen
This is an excellent quatern, flow of the refrain line is consistent and smooth, yes, like human nature she gouges the same tracks as human beings, she's both cruel, indifferent, but can be gentle and kind, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Welcome
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
I love this Quatern entry, particularly the repetitive line. We always hear about the coming of Fall and the glory of the season when it is upon us but few write about the disappearance of it, Good luck in the contest

I'm glad you noticed that. There is something inherently sad about Fall. We know that her exquisite beauty will fade and surrender to the cold landscape of Winter. I appreciate your review and good luck wish.
Comment from Teri7
This is a truly perfect poem you have penned for what is happening where we live now. The leaves are blowing, and you can feel the coolness in the air. Great artwork and great descriptive words. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I loved this. Your poem shares the change from autumn to winter with such emotion. I love the repetition of "A backward glance, she waves goodbye" which beautifully shares the farewell of the season. The imagery of leaves losing their grip and the trees mournful sighs are so powerful. It's a moving poem. Well done!

Thank you very much, Michael. I appreciate your encouraging review and generous descriptive comments of my little poem.
Comment from RodG
Fall, to me, is the saddest season of the year because the trees all lose their leaves as you describe here. I like how you PERSONIFY Fall as a woman waving goodbye.
But please reread the contest requirements. Each line of a Quatern must have EIGHT syllables.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Rod. Sometimes it helps to real All the rules, Huh? I think I've made the necessary changes to conform. Hope you will give me another look.

Hi. I did read your revision and because your Quatern now fits the rules I added a star to my rating. Good job.

Thanks again, Rod. I can't reveal my identity, but just so you know, this isn't the first time you've politely rescued one of my writings. And I appreciate it.

"With a backward glance, she waves goodbye" and I stomp my feet and cry. I know that Old Man Winter is waiting to blow his frosty breath and chill me to the bone. NIcely done! And enjoyed!

Thank you, Carol. I'm with you on that winter thing. I don't like the cold! I appreciate your complimentary review. Unfortunately, I had to go back and make some changes because it my poem did not conform to the syllable count rules of the contest.
