A real chilly autumnal ambiance beautifully evoked here in this Tanka through effective use of language and vivid word pictures 'frost-laden pumpkins'

This is a lovely poem and a great contest entry, meeting the tanka requirements. You also chose a lovely picture to complement the words. Keep writing. Good luck in the voting.

Thanks for the encouraging review. Yup, that is Vermont these days. Those brilliant leaves are now pre~composed and snow is coming soon. I am loving winter after spending 22 years in a tropic temperature. Cheers.

This is a very visual tanka enabling us to see a scene of flying geese, bare trees, and frosted pumpkins. Good use of enjambment to make this seem like a video. Rod
