Brooke,
This is an excellent ode to the beauty of autumn. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post. Actually, our last several autumns have been less than colorful, and I've been disappointed.

This is a beautiful poem Brooke, clearly conveying your love of the beautiful autumn season with excellent imagery. The rhyming quatrains flow smoothly to a fitting last stanza:
"If fall should ever disappear
as if its days have been swept clean,
I'll dream of autumn, crisp and clear,
although the world stays ever green".
Autumn is a truly beautiful season. Best wishes in the contest!
:)Christine

Comment from GarthL
That is one beautiful dream which conveys your love of autumn to perfection. I particularly liked 'I'll need a cornucopia of dreams to take the whole view in'. The abcb rhyme flowed nicely and made for a great colorful read. On the coast in a temerate zone I don't get this splendor so I travel to our Blue Mountain region to experience the brilliance of autumn colors and the older I get the more appreciative I get of the magic. Well written as usual and a wonderful read this bright summer morning with a projected Hot day ahead. Thank you, Garth

Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, how can I describe, yet again, how wonderful this poem is, how much it moves me. Oh I know, I pick a part of it to quote - (but then that doesn't work if you love every word and can't pick any one phrase over another, does it?) :) Of course this is six-worthy, and yet again, my supply is depleted.

As wonderful as ever - I love your last paragraph, it is a good finale to your imaginative poem. "If fall should ever disappear" I would miss it! I am currently living in a tropical climate where there is no autumn and I miss it!

Well, first of all, I enjoyed how this poem took a trip away from autumn but stayed with the autumn theme anyway. Your lines are crisp, and the imagery is crystal. As for the message, I'm thinking of how I often dream of autumn during the sweltering heat of summer. But I'm a Floridian, and it's to be expected. LOL
Nice work with this.

You describe my feeling about fall to perfection! The imagery is crisp, vivid, and right on target. Also--Once again I admire the tight construction and word crafting. Thanks! Caroline

This is an interesting piece. It made me think of the places that don't have a real fall season, whose trees remain green. It's very accurate. Good work and good luck.

WELCOME BACK!!! You have been missed. This is a beautiful poem...of course, you wrote it. I do love autumn and miss the leaves changing colors, something we just do not have down here. This is a marvelous entry for this contest and I sincerely wish you all the best.
