This is a fine autumnal poem. I first noticed your word choice and how they developed a photographic image in my mind. Yes, this picture is pure and serene. The ABC form supported your poem without getting in the way of your message. Thank you for sharing it. I wish you contest success.

    Thank you very much for this supportive and good review. Thank for the good wishes, I usually do not do well in contests. At least now I know my work was not inferior.
    Gratefully,

This is a lovely poem. I love the words and the presentation.
The last line is my favorite: A picture...pure and serene (I like the adjectives you've used).
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

This ABC poem, Autumn Eve, uses the correct set up of alphabetically aligned lines and captures the first colors of the new season. Nice.

    Thank you Bill Schott. Encouraging comments like this will keep me writing. Usually my entries in contests fall flat. This writer will not give up. I write for readers to enjoy and not to win.

    Thank you evesayshi for this supporting comment. I love to write for the pure joy of the art. Contests are not my strong suit and my entries usually fall flat. I work hard on compliance with the prompt.

This work has reached the exceptional level

A commendable ABC Poem presentation. I love smelling the fragrance of red, yellow-gold and green leaves, as they fall from trees, then walk around on the ground. I am receptive of their beauty--and the magic of Autumn's promise. The Artwork is awesome and it's image is pure and serene. Sheeee! Are you listening? "WOW!" Thanks for sharing "Autumn Eve" on Fanstory. Best wishes and God bless.

Respectfully,
Your fan and friend!

This poem is beautifully presented in autumn gold against a perfect piece of artwork given the theme of the poem. I was only thinking this morning how different trees behave so differently at this time of year. The Ash barely changing its colours, just gets blown away to bare poles, while the hazel gives a rare technicolour performance to end the season, and the virginia creeper blushes deeply very early on before running to hide and losing all its leaves. The beach on the other hand hangs on to its golden brown leaves all the way through the winter sometimes.
