This is an earlier post which is really nice. I like the play on words.

for your win. Marilyn

Excellent play on words with the last line "Autumn leaves."
Good use of alliteration with blankets barren and later,
land and leaves. Congrats on winning.

I love little clever writings like Autumn Leaves which has a double meaning. Very clever and beautiful. I enjoyed you picture and your short poem. Congratulations on a beautiful idea.

The most memorable part for me is the final line/words "Autumn leaves." Great play-on-words as both meanings...falling leaves or a season moving on...fit. The poem evokes a sense of peace as the image of a "blanket" of frost forms.

Excellent use of words that well describes an early frost. Your last line "Autumn leaves" is a marvelous line with two meanings, I can see Autumn leaving and I can see the leaves everywhere. You created a clear picture in few words.

This is so good that I can feel the chill. You describe the time of year and climate that abhor. When I was in the military, I left a tropical climate in Okinawa, Japan and went to North Dakota in the winter where I knew days so cold that there were times when you could freeze to death after five minutes of exposure. I made a vow to never go anywhere near a climate like that again and I meant it.

Comment from Joy Graham
Oh yes, this is a terrific aha moment :) I LOVE a good aha moment, and you delivered. "Autumn leaves" - you crack me up!
Your syllables all check out. Your picture is subdued, yet sets the reader up to think the poem is going to be of a serious nature. Excellent work in saving the punch line til last.
Best wishes in the contest. You have a fine entry in my humble opinion.

Comment from robyn corum
Neonewman,
I'm getting two juxtaposing images here, N. I see the early frost that blankets the ground and then I'm seeing the leaves that blanket the ground. They seem to cancel each other out. I don't get it. Sorry.

It was simply a play on words. Meaning autumn leaves as in going away. The double meaning was intended as I'm a bit of a twist freak. Thank as always for your time Robyn.
God bless!

So succinct and so beautiful. I love your presentation with the perfect picture and the description underneath with a blue background. The words--so simple and yet say so much. Nature's early frost is its way of saying hello. Congratulations on winning the contest. You earned it.
