Can't go wrong writing about Autumn! A very appealing 2-10-2...with rhyme no less!
Clever near mirrored first and third lines.
Gosh, I love this season!

You have chosen wonderful imagery for this piece. The literal image supports your words very well. I might have used "while" instead of with in the second line, but that is just a thought.

Autumn is a 2-10-2 poem entered in a contest, but I can't see the poet's name. Autumn is a season up North in the United States that I used to enjoy, with crisp mornings and bright red maple leaves. This poem made me miss Autumn the season. Autumn in South Florida is just a word. It means nothing much except that there are only six more weeks of Hurricane season and that the worst part of it is over. It means the temperatures will be in the 70s instead of the high 80s and low 90s. It is followed by another word, "winter," which means the rain will stop and it will stay in the 70s during the day. We still have to cut the grass. Not that I am going to complain.

    Thomas, up north in western NC (ha, ha). We enjoy the crisp autumn evenings, warm sunny days. Literally we have four seasons each with there own expressions of life and the revolving earth we ride upon.

This is a good entry for the contest. I like it. It is compliant and it is perfectly poetic. Lovely.
This was not easy but your poetry seems effortless. I like the illustration too. Pretty

This is great for the contest except you have eleven syllables in the middle.

Ha! Made you look.

With work like this, I don't think that you will be winless for long!

Nice job!

You have made excellent use of your fourteen syllables to describe one of my favorite things in nature--those beautiful fall leaves. You've included
alliteration, a metaphor, and personification--Great!

This is excellent. Perfectly executed 2-10-2. The imagery, the rhyme, the nature subject - all so well done. I will look for it in the contest. Best of luck.

What a great piece of artwork to embellish your great entry in this contest. The time of the year, I must admit is the glory of death is the way I view autumn, before nature goes into repose in winter, a super post my friend, well done, blessings and good luck, Roy

This is a good entry for the contest. I like the rhymes you used for your poem. Hush-paintbrush-blush - these words mimic the sounds made by leaves in autumn.
