This 5-7-5 ode to autumn, Critics Choice, has the right set up and gives the season a colorful gown to wear at the height of her popularity.

I love the picture used to go with the poem. The comparison here of the curtain call is ingenious and well thought out. It is not my gift to come up with such ideas. Lovely!

Beautifully penned and illustrated. Autumn has always been my favorite season. My native Georgia and New York win the standings ovation for me.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the contest,
Sally :)

Hello my friend

A fine entry for the Ode To Autumn writing prompt. Nice presentation. Good topic for Autumn. The grammatical connection between lines could be improved.

Well done. Good luck with the contest.

A great painting accompanies your 5-7-5 entry. It describes the seasonal change to our audience of man.

IMHO... Your text would benefit from a larger font size. As the poet, you can best decide if bolded text is an other attribute to consider.

Missed your original post, but did review the contest entries. Good luck in voting.

And the vote is in: Autumn wins another grand performance. I'm in the audience, and I'm standing, too.

Excellent haiku and ode to autumn.

This is a very well thought out poem. I enjoyed the idea of Autumn being like a person... or the season. It made me think a bit. The picture is gorgeous and really lends itself to the poem. Well done. Respectfully, -January L.

An interesting take on the contest topic. I think it works well. I think it works well that there are some long words with high syllable counts, as it helps it helps it flow smoothly.

Your poem is wonderful. Great writing. I can see the presence of the person she is giving the ode to....it was her director or perhaps her parent. See you at the polls.
