Hi MariVal,
This is a well done 2-4-2 poem. I like the alliteration, personification and internal rhyme in the last line. The first two lines a good description of the scene in the artwork.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Gypsy, your 2-4-2 poem is filled with vivid imagery. I especially liked:
aflame at dusk
(Good word usage)
Well chosen photo and beautiful presentation. Well done. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

Comment from karenina
I think trees become old because they have learned to bow with the wind rather than break... This is how they reach the "dusk" of their years, much like we humans. There are reflections here that are beautiful on the surface, and more so as metaphors!

Gypsy,
Good idea for this contest entry. Succinctly said, but the imagery is expansive. The Fall oft provides us this beautiful glimpse at dusk. You got it right!

I like your haiku poem- good picture presentation- good theme- tree still picking up light at days end- bowing to the sun as it leaves the day - clever

You are most welcome. Did you get a chance to read the comments for the poem I dedicated to you?
-
What? No. But I'm really behind in my reviewing. I'll look for it.

I just read your poem and reviewed it. I went through the comments and most were kind but a few were really rude. You have a very distinctive style that shine through your poem. You're always advocating for injustices and bring the unspoken into the light. Well done, Ms Sandy.

So happy that you have entered this contest, MariVal!
Gorgeous poem with gorgeous illustrations and alliteration and imagery. I like the contrasting feel of "aflame at dusk."
Hope this does well in the contest!

This is a good entry for the 2-4-2 contests (I've just counted the syllables).
I like the poem, its message and the accompanying graphic. The colours are well-matched with the pictures.

Love the line, "aflame at dusk" and the homophones in the last line. Well done. One does not even need the picture, the words create the vision in one's mind.

I like the last line "boughs bow" and your depiction of the tree as "aflame." You really do have a way with this type of poetry. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.
