Hi Bridge,
This is a well written Sedoka poem. It shows the beauty of Autumn at its sad meaning of temporary death for the trees.
Hope this did well in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Joan
P S If I didn't tell you before, I have just published a book titled "The Interloper and other stories in prose and poetry". It is available on Amazon.com. There is a link to it at the bottom of my profile page or you can just go to Amazon.com and search Joan Pechter The Interloper.

Good

I like this, but surely the whole contest is problematical.
The required syllable count is 5-5-7 but the example provided is 5-7-7. Most entries have failed to meet the stated requirement, but have copied the example. Both cannot be correct. I suggest this contest should be declared null and void and entry money refunded.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my work. This is my first attempt at a sedoka poem and I had no idea about the syllable count so just followed the example.
With kind regards

Nice one. The leaves on the deciduous trees do go out in a blaze of glory and it leads to endless fascination for us, the viewers. I like your turnaround in this one.

This sedoka, Autumn Leaves, has the proper formatting and finds the withering leaves on the autumn trees which will eventually release their weakening grasps.
