Comment from rama devi
Nice work, my fried. Fine form and rhymes, especially breeze and frees...clever! Love the personification. The title is a bit cliche...consider revising.
I like the medley of T sounds here with a counterpoint of consonant s:
It gives a tug and sets them free
of winter's tree,
transformed, at last;
tomorrow's past.
Good imagery, tone and tenor.
Enjoyed.
Warmly, rd

Tony,
Nicely done minute poem about the changing from Summer to Fall.
I like the use of Greek Mythology with Persephone coming back for the Underworld to bring back Spring.
Good luck, keep writing and stay healthy.

I can certainly feel the change in the air as summer moves towards autumn. As much as I love the summer months, I do crave slightly cooler temperatures. A well written piece, I really enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest!

'I hear the wind, its cleansing breath.' What a grand first line.

Enjoyed.
Best of luck in the Minute contest.

Comment from Mistydawn
I take it that you're tired of old man winter that you're ready to see the beautiful flowers again. Who can blame you, spring is a wonderful time of year, my favorite for sure. Your poem is well-written. Your great word choice paints vivid pictures in the reader's mind. Good luck with your contest.

Comment from Markie Doczi
I think this is great! An unusual rhyme scheme, but I enjoyed it. Good imagery, too.
I enjoyed the reference to the Greek gods as well- in sorrento writing a book on Greek myths and legends! Nicely done.

I meant to say I'm currently writing a book on the legends- darn autocorrect!
