the opening line is quite elegant and the picture you present is wonderful. There is only one area in the world where the Saguaro grows and that is in the parts of Arizona and Mexico. I am not sure the font being used truly reflects the wonderment of your words. Just my opinion.

You make the contrasts of the fall season come to life as well as the reactions of creatures and even the Earth itself. Love the opening with the
tumbleweed roars and the Summer freeze.
Good luck in the contest.

This is quite nice, Lea. :) The picture is beautiful and your words fill the page with its imagery. "Devoured feast," the weather taken over by change as the sun shines in the sky and brings forth the beauty of the earth, "Conquered beast." Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing.

Brilliant. You understand that poetic verse is, originally, musical verse. Your poem performs as music when read aloud. That, my friend, is quite a rare exception to the FS rule. lol I am impressed. easy

Hi Lea,
This poem uses color and sound to give strong images of nature as Summer turns to Fall. I like the original metaphor of Fall as a Summer freeze.
I also like the image of an eagle flying in the sunset.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

This poem reflects the turn of the season and all the colours and sounds of Autumn. The picture complements the poem. The language appeals very much to the senses!

I love this colors, too. Your poem of the alternating between long/short lines work well here. It's neat and poetic. I love to read more of your poems in the future.

Well done.

This is a good entry into the Rhyming Poetry contest. The text is a great size for easy reading. The message is written with clarity and is easy to understand. This poem is riddled with examples of personification beginning with roaring tumbleweeds and shouting gophers. Great examples!
The text needs to be balanced in the poem box. Drop the first line down one or two spaces to match the ending space beneath the last line. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

A lovely poem celebrating the seasons. I like how you alternated the longer rhyming lines with the three-syllable rhyming lines. It's sad to say goodbye to Summer but we can enjoy the colors of Fall and look forward to Spring conquering the beast of Winter. Best wishes in the contest!
