Very nicely done! Every stanza contains wonderful autumnal imagery, not just the sights but the sounds and the feeling of fall, too. I really liked this piece! Best of luck to you in the contest.

Cheers, Anonymous Poet;
-what a wonderful stack piece of poetry of 5/7/5 Syllabic formatted poems.
-You kept the enjambment, the feeling and the recognition of the conceptual theme held fast throughout the poem without a syntactical break or hiccup in the meaning and understanding of all of your poems.
-Each one by themselves to standalone but together they complete the imagery that is so demonstratively descriptive and definitively and vividly expressive throughout the writing with a permanent understanding of the significant aspects of autumn.
-The pictures very well chosen and also exceptionally supportive and relative to the conceptual theme of your poetry.
-Good luck in the contest and take care and have a good one especially with all those that you love dearly.
Alex

Writer, this is a wonderfully worded stacked haiku for the contest and well describes the prelude to the cooler autumnal days. Patricia

I can see, feel, and hear autumn coming with all the wonderful descriptions you chose, especially the colder breezes and crackling logs in the fire. Very well written and I believe a strong entry. I wish you the best of luck in the contest, and thank you for sharing. Nicely done!

Oh this is a beauty of a poem. 'September corn moon
glows over fields of ripened
bountiful harvest
Chillier breezes
blow swirling russet brown leaves
to vagrant cluster.......a perfect autumn poem which is also constructed perfectly as a stacked 5-7-5-well done and good luck in the competition! Kind regards Meia x

What a lovely picture you paint of one of the most beautiful seasons of the year.
Im assuming you're British if you say 'Autumn' and may I say that England's golden season in my eyes is the most stunning in the world.
I felt the change in the atmosphere culminating in the cosy last words where hot cocoa and slippers come to mind. Lovely!
Just one thing. The last 5-7-5 reads to me as a 5-6-5. Not sure if you see fire as fi-re but thought I'd mention it.
Lovely poem : )

A very well-written stacked 5-7-5 poem about the transitional season from summer to autumn. We meet this season with mixed feelings, the end of the hot summer days are a great relief, but the dread of winter lies ahead.

I enjoyed reading your stacked 5-7-5 poem "Autumn Prelude". You followed all the rules for this genre. Just one small thing. In the last line I am not sure if you have five or six syllables. You may wish to review this as we have different pronunciations.
All the best.
Marybell1.

Nicely written and use of metaphors and imagery. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons (spring being the other), with the cool breeze and the bare trees. Thank you for sharing and best wishes in the contest, NB
