In my opinion, the contest is over you win hands down. Your rhymes are pristene. Your phrasing is sublime. This poem should be classifies as: Poetry 101. This is simply one of the best poems I can remember reading in the many years that I have been reading. I would like to point out my reasons for saying this. It is not about the content nearly as much as it is about the actual makeup of the poem, how each word is just right, how the stanzas flow fromone to the other and they make sense. You understand that the words were not chosen just because they rhyme, but they make sense, they belong. I could go on, but I think enough has been said. Great work my friend.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Brooke,
This is another poetry form that I enjoyed. This theme makes me appreciate living in the south. Perhaps you are bracing yourself for another brutal winter. Great personification - those poor trees.
Hugs,
Lou

I wouldn't know an anapest from an anaphora, but I like your poem nonetheless. It certainly reads well. The theme, however, is a bit depressing. Spring announces hope, fall into winter not so much. Still change of seasons is missed when one moves to a mild climate.

Excellent. So smooth to read. The rhyme is delightful. I love the picture of the naked shivering trees that you paint. This is excellently done.

So well written, Brooke. There are many poems with this subject right now, but none better than this one, in my opinion. Great last line. Exceptional poem.

Comment from Wendyanne
Hi Brooke this is an excellent example of a poem written in anapestic meter. I like the rhythm of this form of poetry. You have reminded us of the stark contrast in colours between Autumn and Winter. Makes me shiver lol. Excellent personification!! Good luck.

Great artwork that complements your poem very well. Anapestic meter and rhyme. About Autumn with its nice colours and then winter.
