Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written acrostic poem about the beauty of autumn that is like a sonnet we can experience each year when it is time that autumn takes her turn to announce winter is coming.

This is a beautiful poem that flows and evokes. Anyone who has walked through an autumn forest will understand.
I love the kiss with every step and can just imagine this young couple, so in love on the perfect, natural stage to play lover's games. Bravo, judester

Comment from Gloria ....
I like this very much author. Autumn has so many things to consider and you have done great justice to the theme under discussion. It is an acrostic and eight syllable line, which I expect is just fine, at least in my books it is.
Very nice and I wish you much luck in the booths.

Comment from June Sargent
It's a bittersweet poem on love and loss. Autumn is a time of reflection and a nostalgic walk through memory lane can be comforting. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Kathleen Washnis
I liked this; it left me a bit melancholy in the end. I love to walk in the woods along a canal path where I live so I enjoyed the picture as well. You definitely brought feelings out of being alone near the end of life so you accomplished your goal; my hat is tipped to you!

I truly appreciate the tipped hat, Kathleen, for "An Autumn Sonnet." Yes, it is a bit melancholy, but I am pleased it evoked strong feeling for you. Rod
Comment from Jaye Bennett
You have written a beautiful rhyming poem, and have found the perfect picture to pair with it. Your descriptions of the dawn and the trees is lyrical. You also tell the way time deals with trees in the autumn. All of that is good. The bonus is when you tell of a prior time which can be only a memory. Thank you for this.

Comment from Alexander Vasa
Hello, this is nicely written, I enjoyed it, and don't worry about the technicalities with me, I don't care for them, lol. I think it is a nice flowing work with wonderful imagery within the poem. Your publishing choices are good too, I have no suggestions for improvement and would recommend your poetry to others for review. Cheers, and good luck, Anastasia.

Comment from tkbrown
I like what you have written! In your Acrostic Poem "An Autumn Sonnet" you talk of a love that you are not embracing as you retrace a path once taken with her. In three stanzas - a couplet followed by two sestets written in iambic tetrameter with a rhyme scheme of ab abcdcd efefgg - you tell of a longing for what was and is now remembered nostalgically. Actually, even though it is not a rhyming couplet as a sonnet's end should be, the move to the top is rather fitting. It would fit on the bottom perfectly, because it describes what the poem says. But you are talking of a love turned upside down which you are now trying to embrace In your memory. So, as an acrostic, the upside-down sonnet fits what you are saying. The artwork for which you credit Google is actually created by Leonid Afremov. The signature is in the lower left corner of the painting. Thank you for sharing and allowing me to review your work. tkbrown
