Ahhh. This is exactly how it feels, watching those leaves whirl and twirl from branch to the new "dance floor" nestled up against the roots of their very own tree! Beautifully rendered, Wendy.

Actually, you could say they dance as they fall from the limbs of the trees.
They swirl and twirl around and around before hitting the ground. They lie there and decompose, losing carbon dioxide and water into the ground. Another way to recycle the carbon cycle. Thank you for sharing.

    Yes, I was imagining the dance as a pirouette in the air before they hit the ground. I am glad you enjoyed this one. Thank you for reviewing.

Bingo. This is a good 353 which to me are hard to compete for since I am
rather loquacious when I think. Eleven words. Maybe in the future. Good luck in the competition.

As a tiny syllable-contained poem, this one got me. I loved the imagery you created with your diction. Plus, autumn is my favorite season, and you captured the magic of it for me perfectly. Good Luck in the contest!

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all! I did look of the Pirouette and then the poem made sense
to me. The author's poem are lovely and compliment the beauty of
fall. The artwork is awesome and compliments the words of this poem.

I love this nature 3-5-3 poem. The syllable count is accurate. The font size is easy to read. The message makes sense and creates great imagery. The visual fits perfectly. You have had the best one so far. I am reading the entire booth. Good luck in the contest.

Lovely picture and nicely placed set of words which I've no doubt will do well in the contest. It encapsulates all the requirements of nature within the syllable count. Well done.

Maybe it's the dancer teacher and choreographer in me that loves this entry the most so far. What a great concept - that it's the end of their "show" and, like a curtain, they're falling. Very imaginative. And great picture to accompany it! I bet this will do very well in the contest. Good luck.

This 3-5-3, Applause, has the right setup and sets the readers in the audience to watch the finale of the forest summer as the leaves turn color, turn in circles, and find the stage floor. Nice.

This is a very sensual poem. Sensual in the meaning that it calls on many senses. Visual, obviously, but also sound, and tactile. Much enjoyed. Kate xx
