You chose a perfect theme for this contest -- autumn. In addition to executing the poetic form correctly, you presented stunning imagery with the bright colors of fall.

You are correct in saying that the picture is pure and serene.

Good luck in the contest. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

Your last line states your poem well, "A picture...pure and serene". It brings a picture to mind and your poem's words are so serene. Good luck in the contest!

Attractive presentation, but I have to say your poem about autumn colours does nothing for me. despite focusing on bright colours, the poem itself feels a little drab.

Your first line is vague about the point of view - who is doing the perceiving? Line 3 mentions the 'earthly stage' but there is no expansion on this image elsewhere in the poem. Instead, line 4 creates what seems a slightly incongruous 'photo image'. Is the poem really about the majesty of autumn, or is it describing a picture? That seems to be confirmed by the last line.

Your ABC format is perfect and you use rhyme to add an aural quality to the piece, but I'm afraid it just feels wrong to me.

Steve

Your poem does indeed create a mood as well as paint a nice mental picture. Especially poignant as we are in the midst of autumn. Good luck in the contest. Elizabeth Daniels,

Very rich and flavorful. Good use of color and adjectives. I can practically smell the leaves from here. Your are right, Mother Nature is powerful. Maybe we should stop passing her off.
