Nice rhyming and you create a nice word mosaic describing the beauty of fallen leaves. I would have preferred switching the first and third lines, connoting a feeling of silence as the leaves slowly fade to dust. Just my opinion. Enjoyed the read and the picture.

Your contest entry was beautiful in style, image, and
words, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading it. The rhymes
were an added bonus. I liked the message, too. Great job
with the syllable count per line.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Autumn is my favorite season because of exactly what your contest entry is about. I love the rich Autumn colors. It's the only season with these glorious colors. Thank you for sharing this entry with us and good luck with the contest.

    Thank you! I do agree that autumn gives us a time to breathe in changes that are so visible ... before the grinding halt of winter cast forth long hours of darkness.

-Hi there,

Maybe have a look at your presentation here. There's nothing wrong with having coloured font but it's bordered in black against a background of off-white and doesn't look great.

I like the sentiments expressed within the piece itself and the syllable count is spot on

All the best

AS I have often said, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. And I don't often read poetry, but today, I've decided there is no better time than the present to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

This 2-10-2, Autumn, has the right setup and includes some uni-rhyme to pull the reader into the sights and sounds of the fall season. The beautiful leaves become a quite carpet. Nice.
