I enjoyed the metaphor for Autumn here with all its colour and spicy delights. The trees flouncing their skirts and the crimson apples, a fine post for the contest, love Dolly x

Hi,Dolly. When I created the Duchess, I was thinking of the cast of DOWNTON ABBEY. I am very pleased you enjoyed the poem.

This is an excellent poem with a great constant rhythm throughout. I just love the ideas behind it and your use of colour plus the idea of acorns being 'squirrel-pruned' is brilliant. The rhyming is good too. I wish you all the best in the contest

Eleri, thank you so much for your marvelous praise of my poem and that galaxy of stars. Describing the Duchess was fun to do.
