Comment from rspoet
You've written an excellent Etheree poem for the contest
with wonderful imagery and nice addition of a few
internal and external rhymes. Very nice image of the butterfly
mimicking the leaves in flight
Excellent art work to match
Very well done
Best wishes in the contest

Comment from Barbaraj1
I love Etheree Poems and you did a nice job with it. You started with
one syllable and ended up with ten. Nice images .....leaf is like a monarch butterfly, canary yellow sky, and leaf flutters. Good luck in the contest.

I don't write Etherees often and I'm delighted you enjoyed this one, Barbara. I am so pleased you enjoyed the imagery used. Rod
Comment from Patty Palmer
I really like this form of poetry, I find it easy to write. I saw this entry and was trying to write one as well, but I had to learn about it first. So, by the time I was finished writing it to my approval, the deadline had passed. It was only a few minutes but it's okay, I have it saved to use in another contest somewhere along the way!
Great Poem!

I am so pleased you enjoyed my Etheree, Patty, and enjoy writing them yourself. I'm sorry you missed the deadline, but you now have time to prepare it for the next contest. Rod

thanks for the encouragement!
Comment from Gail Denham
Nice etheree - following the leaf to the ground - definitely a fall poem. I would maybe say - on the last line - "watch the leaf fade to gray - or something that shows what a leaf does when it's on the ground a long time. Off hand I can't think of what.
Nevertheless, a good poem

Comment from Joy Graham
Dear Mystery Poet,
I LOVE that picture and your color presentation. There is one member on site that amazes me with her color presentations and I want to be just like her when I grow up. I wonder if you might be she? Hmmmmm...
This has such a light and delicate feel to it. You actually made me sigh with your last line.
Best wishes in the contest. This is a beautiful and stunning entry. Sorry to be out of sixes this Saturday morning.

Yes, that picture was a lucky find which inspired the poem, but I think you probably know by now I am not the painter. So pleased my Etheree gave you pleasure. Rod

First of all, you have conformed to the writing prompt format.
I find this brief free verse to be a well penned nature theme.
Best wishes with this worthy contest entry.

Comment from Susan X Smith
This poem is a potentially successful contest entry since it captures the Etheree form. The picture you chose is a perfect complement with it's yellow background. Keep writing.

Comment from Alchera
This spiritual beautifully well counted syllables and penned ethereal poem depicts throughout its content the delicate floating movements of a fallen autumnal leaf and the poetess' mesmerizing astonishment. Well done and have a nice day!

This is a beautiful autumn etheree, my friend. I love the use of crimson and canary instead of red and yellow. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

Comment from Nancy Slover
You have created a beautiful, descriptive poem about Fall and stayed true to the etheree form of poetry. I love your simile of the leaf and the monarch butterfly. This gives me a calm and peaceful feeling as though I were standing beneath those falling leaves. Great job!
