After most people are gone, the best time of the year.

I enjoyed reading your Nature Rondel poem. It rhymes well and it flows with meaning and I like that you asked a question in your poem and answered it as well, "Why do we go to Wisconsin in late fall?" I image it is beautiful. Just one comment. Did you mean Cardinal in your second stanza? (Cardinal bird, right?). Best wishes!

    Thanks for the read. Yes, Cardinal bird in second stanza. What suggestions do you have that could have made this excellent?

This is a great contest entry, Mystery Author. I love the image and the sentiments expressed so eloquently in your poem. There is good flow and great imagery.

As per the rules
'only the first line repeats at the end.'
Perhaps you could compose another line before the last one so your first line is the repeated line as the last line of the poem. Maybe something along the line of:
Autumn in Wisconsin is the best time of all
(I know it is your choice whatever you decide).

I would hate to see this DQed.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

    Thanks for the heads-up, made change to:
    When leaves whirl in cold air is the best time of all
    Why do we love Wisconsin in the late fall
    Appreciate your help.

This is a stunning, eye-catching entry for the contest, and a very unique perspective on why people go to Wisconsin in Autumn (I'm an Aussie; we don't call it "Fall"). I like how you say that some people don't understand, but reading this, and seeing that beautiful picture, I do understand why people come to Wisconsin at that time of year. Good luck in the voting!

hi there
intriguing, what's the difference between fall in Wisconsin and fall in Vermont? I'm a Yank from Michigan living in Toronto - Ontario CANADA since 1969. I know what Vermont offers. How about Wisc.?

    Well, Wisconsin doesn't anything like the Green Mountains, though is has some wonderful lakes and rivers. As for the fall colors, I can't say because I've not been to Vermont in the fall. Thanks for the read and review.
