Ciao mystery poet, you now have 9 votes.
I love autumn and your poem is one of the best, if not the best, I have read on this board. It standout from the crowd for its originality.
You had me hooked from the first line : Meet Autumn! This aristocrat.
Other lines that appealed to me are:
Appearing at a formal tea
in feathered cape, flamboyant dress
She'll paint her lips a luscious red
And I love the idea of the chapeau decorated with fruits.
The poem as a whole was brilliant.
I hope you get some more votes and win!
Best of luck!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This post is so eye-catching and special! I love the way you've personified Autumn in the form of this classy duchess! She really does embody all the splendours of autumn but also the wealth and extravagance to live in some style and luxury. By the end of your fine set of quatrain stanzas both she and autumn have become inextricably mixed. Thank you for sharing this strong contender and good luck! Debbie

Debbie, I am delighted you enjoyed meeting the Duchess. She was fun to create and based on the characters in DOWNTON ABBEY.

You certainly write poetry with great feelings and verve. The picture is a very good compliment to your poem. Your selection of color for your matting was an excellent choice. And your choice of font is one of my favorites.

Excellent entry for the Quatrain Poetry writing prompt contest.
Wonderful rhyming that flows well and doesn't sound forced. It's a well written Quatrain Poem with good form and composition.

Comment from JSD
Redolent of Keats and his personification of Autumn in his famous Ode. Your personification is handled with great assurance and some brilliant imagery. Whoever you are, you know your language. I especially like the correct use of the word, 'august'. Well done. Must have a strong chance in the contest. Good luck.
