Autumn casts her spell19 total reviews
Comment from Preston McWhorter
This is an excellent ode, a tribute to autumn, with the 5-7-5 syllable constraints. It has beautiful figurative language and imagery. The illustration is good also.

beautiful. This perfectly suits the ode style. i love the way you are talking to Autumn, as if you are serenading her. placing yourself inside your writing is very effective here.

This is a well done effort to bring the 5-7-5 and the ode form together. An ode does indeed call for a "lofty, lyrical and elevated style." You met the syllable count correctly as well. Good luck, Jeanie Mercer

Well done then, and let me say I wish I had the words to speak the joy, happy and loving feeling at get at the changing of the seasons.

This certainly qualifies as lofty in tone as befitting an ode an it is true to form for this particular contest as well as finely presented. Nice alliteration on B and T. transfix is such a great word choice here. My only suggestion is to consider not using the word WOULD twice--two lines in a row. Suggest replacing the last one with AND.
Good luck in the contest.
