The colors surrounding this flamenco dancer mirrors the Autumn hues of falling leaves and also their movement as they fall to the ground.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this vividly descriptive, delightful piece. Personification and metaphor serve well to convey your message.

-Great artwork and
presentation.
-The syllable count is good,
along with the imagery.
-I like the comparison of
autumn to a dance, and the
alliteration adds to that feeling
of "Autumn's sashay."
-A very good concluding line, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

Hello anonymous

Beautiful presentation, I love the Spanish dancer and the color scheme. Excellent entry for the Ode To Autumn writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines.

Not sure these words flow so well, (having two (in) close together maybe the problem. Perhaps swap the first (in) to (by). "Autumn sashays by"

I felt the movement here in the dance as Autumn sheds her leaves, love Dolly x

Good wording and description in such little amount of syllables! Great choice of picture and, let me say, it makes me resemble of Spain as her dress` colours (mostly) are like its flag: Red and yellow

This was a gorgeous rendition to the contest. I liked the metaphor "autumn sashays". Excellent descriptive imagery and an award winning artwork to compliment your poem. I think this should make a prime contender in this contest, good luck in the booths.

Your contest entry is well-done, Mystery Writer. The syllable count is correct per line, the image is great, the color scheme works well, and your personification of Autumn is understood--the season and the possible name of the dancer.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Calling the Autumn as a lady's dance fever is so creative. I love it, the poem and the art. As you usual you impressed me with a beautiful piece of art, too. I have to ask you the secret. Where did you find these wonderful art works?

    What an awesome review, Lisa - THANK YOU!! And the artwork? That's always the last piece of a posting for me: I write the poem and then go looking for a pic... the new old fashioned way, I guess. I have a certain thing in mind (but I'm never rigid about it) and go to Google images and search on the overall mood of my poem or key phrases and see what comes up. Sometimes it takes multiple searches until I find what 'clicks' for me.... Don't know if that actually helps, but that really is what I do! ;) :) Take care this weekend!! ;)
