I am no expert on any of the short forms but I do know that the middle line is all important with two different persepectives on either side of it and that, you have certainly achieved here. I really like
summer tiptoed out", the way you personalized the seasons and the way autumn creeps up to take away. Very enjoyable. xx Pix

Good morning, Pix, and thanks so much for stopping by to read and review. This is a helpful review. I like that you called my attention to that middle line, I need to add it to my notes. It's more clear as you said it. Glad you liked the "tiptoe." LOL:)
Comment from Yvette Wilson
This was fun. It is a reminder that this nice weather will soon be over. It was raining here where I was in IL all day yesterday, but it could have been worse...It could have been snow!

I miss jumping into piles of leaves. I think fall used to be fun-ner when I was little. Now it just reminds me that the summer is over and the snow is on it's way. Good luck in the contest contest

Yes, it was more fun then, because now I have to do something about the piled up leaves. Thanks so much read and the friendly comments.
Comment from sgalletti
Love the imagery in the first two grammatically connected lines and the pivot line is fabulous. The following two lines of insight are impressive. I really appreciated the multi-syllable kwords and the alliteration. Before the contest ends, I have a few punctuation suggestions. Cap "leaves" (the first word. Delete the exclamation point. Put a space between the second and third lines and the third and fourth lines. It adds punch.
Put a semi-colon after "me" and a period after "glass." Tanka allows for minimal punctuation. Of course, all of this is your choice...it is your poem. Try it out. This could be magnificent. Best of luck in the contest. Hugs, Sue

I'm so glad this made you smile--worth me writing it. That weather sounds like Nebraska weather--I lived there years ago. Thanks for this nice review.

You are welcome. No, just Oklahoma. It was this way in Texas. I've even seen snow when the day started at 70.

Nicely written, I light the subject and how you capture the transition from summer to fall in so few words. Let us just enjoy fall before winter gets here! Good luck in the contest.
