I really felt the excitement and joy of fall in this pierce. You captured the emotion of the season very well in such few words! Very good job, and best of luck in the competition and with your writing in the future (:

A lovely poem about Autumn. I was able to bring up memories of feeling the crisp Autumn air, while out in the yard doing fall cleanup and I have memories of sitting by the fireside with my cats by my side,, enjoying the warmth as the nights became colder and colder.

This is a lovely ode to Autumn poem, my friend. I love the: "crisp harvest days" and "hearthside blaze..." A nice little rhyme worked into this 5-7-5. Good luck!

I like how you Welcome Autumn's arrival with praise and personify her with the word "Dear." You succinctly point out the contrast of crisp cool days and warm hearth blazes.

Wonderful! "sing praise" is lovely and "crisp harvest days" and "warm hearthside blaze" are wonderful! I enjoy the rhyme of praise with the end of lines 2 and 3! Great contest entry!
