You did a wonderful job with this challenge. Your arrangement looks very nice.
The flow was very nice. The theme was good. The artwork complemented your poem.

There was nothing wrong that I could tell.

The words you chose worked very well. Your feelings are very understandable and expressed through the poem.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

This is a novel approach to seeing/experiencing autumn. Hot cider is a THE drink of the season.
Excellent blending and juxtaposition of three senses: taste, touch, and sight. And smell is implied.
I love the last line!

This is very lovely for the 5-7-5 contest. I would have liked to see some kind of artwork accompanying it to enhance the words, as they have a hard time standing alone. Good luck in the contest. God bless and hugs, Susanne

    Thank you for your review and comments for my poem, Susanne. If I can't find an appropriate gotograph, I would rather use nothing than using just anything. Thanks for your feedback and good luck wish for the contest.

If I dig this, I would never return back to the pile of leaves. LOL. Never found anything wrong. Good contest piece. Best to you in the contest.

I'm amazed that a piece with such a few words can evoke so much feeling; however, this absolutely flows with the feeling of Autumn. Well done!

    Oh, I love this review, John! I'm so pleased you could feel the emotions of autumn with the words of this short poem. I sure couldn't ask more encouragement from a reader and review. Thank you so much!

I love this! Perfect title and presentation. I can almost smell the leaves and the use of "mug of hot cider" and " sweet sip of Autumn" are the perfect combination! The syllable count may be limited, but it didn't limit you. You said it all! Great job! Good luck in the contest!

    Wow, what a wonderful review for my short 5-7-5 poem, Suzie Q! Thank you so much for taking the time to read and share your kind words. I'm delighted you enjoyed autumn imagery, and I truly appreciate your good luck wish for the contest. Thanks!

    You're certainly welcome. I can't get the phrase "sweet sip of Autumn" out of my head. That would be a great title for a poem itself. Thanks for sharing
