Comment from Eleanor Buron
Brisk Autumn air colorful falling leaves stir so much in the human heart. But then Winter arrives and the cold can be brutal. Palm trees and flowers do quite nicely in December if you are in the right place. I love Florida and the Keyes so I know what you mean. Very nice poem. I enjoyed the color, sounds and smells of Autumn.

Thank you livelylinda carrying this poem with myself, fans and other reader/writer. I like your poem because of the sensational imagery that you have displayed through your words. I could smell and feel the sensation of the Florida when in the crunching snow of the North. You pick it in my mind the subtropics and in the north when you mention the ice on the sill or the frozen glass I can see it all perfectly in my mind. You have a good one and God bless.

Comment from giovannimariatommaso
A very clever poem to see and sense autumn and feel autumn's chill in the subtropics, good visual, good imagery.
The rhyme scheme within the sentences such as, my eyes, to disguise is nice, & autumn chill, ice on sill, display clay, & then the 3 ... Very well done, I wish I had a 6* to give because I definitely fell it deserves it, but rating for me only goes up to 5. So I'll have to be content with 5. I didn't see any spelling or grammatical errors but possibly a marking error with the apostrophe (childrens'/ children's).

Comment from Shirley B
Dear livelylinda, This is a well written poem. The imagery was excellent. I could feel the warmth and also the coolness of both states. We here in Oklahoma are having a storm tonight. Tomorrow will be 35 degrees cooler than today, so I can relate to your poem. Great job, Shirley

Great imagination used in writing this poem. You are not alone in this. Many persons to the tropics because of intolerance of climate.

Comment from mfowler
I lived in Queensland, Australia in my early life. Then we moved to cooler climes. Reverse of you. This poem says it so well. The acclimatisation is a slow and interesting process involving longing for past sensory experience. I love your structural features in this. It allows you to break up the ideas into chunks of meaning. The short lines just add a bit of punch to the image created. Your language is evocative and paints excellent mind pictures.
