This is a very nice Joseph star poem. It goes from one extreme to the other. I guess that is like the cycle of the seasons. The format makes a very neat pattern. It's a great entry for the contest. Good luck.

I think this is a good entry for the Joseph's Star writing prompt.
This lovely verse describes summer and winter hot and cold.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

You have no rhyme in your poem and the syllable count seems accurate.

Your picture was a good choice.

Best of luck in the Joseph's Star writing contest.

From what I have read so far, yours seems to be the only one to have successfully stuck to the requirement of having a statement for each line. .. not easy to do, so I commend you for that, as well as for poetically conveying the scene and the changing season so well. Nice photo too; it looks to be a lovely place to visit when this is all over.

We are coming into spring, but your poem is about the transition from summer to fall and the cool breezes and forthcoming snow flakes, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Excellent! A brilliant job done; each line is complete, gives a picture of change in the air and the environment, and there is good link to the theme with a free flow of thoughts; I liked; wish this entry should win the contest.

You've written an excellent poem for the Joseph's Star contest
with wonderful description and exact syllables.
One possible problem, the prompt says no rhymes
and you used "breeze" twice, as well as freeze.
You could use "wind" or "gust" for breeze
freeze is a little harder, perhaps "frost" or "ice"
Otherwise your imagery is very good
and the photograph is a great match.
Best wishes to you.
Stay safe
Robert

Expertly executed! The syllable Count was perfect. The colors and verse uplifting and ethereal. The shades of lavender made me happy. The artwork compliments this piece perfectly. Beautifully done!
