Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
You really did an excellent job of mirroring Robert Frost's poem. I memorized this with the students in my English classes--Always loved it. I even wrote a mirror poem to it, too.

Hi, Verna! I am thrilled to receive your high applause and all those stars for my mirror poem (I like that word better than "parody"). Our actions are so similar as I, too, memorized Frost?s poem when I taught it. Is your poem posted?
-
No, I can only guess who this is. Let me know when the contest is over, and I'll message it to you. My husband and I, in one of our travels visited Frost's farm.

Will do. Frost?s farm is on my bucket list.

I thought this was a clever counter/take on the original, maintaining enough theme for familiarity but twining Autumn and faith to create something sensory and beautiful. I very much enjoyed.

This is a lovely rhyming poem about the beauty of Autumn. I like the way you've used some of Robert Frost's lines as inspiration for yours. Nicely done, a lovely read. Good luck in the contest.
Cheers

Comment from Douglas Goff
This is a very smooth nice poem. It is well written and nicely put together. I love the picture. I lived in California for twelve years and missed the color changes terrible. Now I catch my breath whenever I see them.
What do the * at the beginning of some of the sentences mean? Please teach me word Jedi.
Very good work Master Poet. I appreciate your work. Thanks you for sharing.

Comment from Celyn
Firstly it should really be 'Stopping by the woods in Autumn' rather than on but I can see what you were trying to do. Also do you mean 'limbs rarely shake' or 'limbs really shake' - I am bit confused there. Having said all that, this poem is a good take on Robert Frost's poem so well done.

Thank you for sharing my poem. The title space only allows so many characters. "Rarely" is the right word.
