Congratulations for placing in the contest, Rod. The image is lovely to accompany your ode. Poem is descriptive of the birds flying at dusk into an autumn sky. Marilyn

I love the satori in this ode to autumn. The 5-7-5 is in perfect form and it is filled with wonderful imagery. Love 'cinnamon specks at dusk' as well.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Gloria ....
It's very difficult to write an ode in such strict perimeters, but you have done it. I can picture the entire scene without the aid of the artwork, so that is a success in my books.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

I am delighted you can easily envision this scene even without the picture Gloria. Thank you for sharing.
Comment from Cybertron1986
I love how this poem correlated with the picture so perfectly. Depicting the the "wings sweep(ing)" and "cinnamon specks" really placed me there. Beautifully presented and elegantly voiced. A very strong five

Your Ode to Autumn is a lovely 5-7-5 poem with a beautiful picture that matches it nicely.
Both are colorful.

Comment from Dean Kuch
This reads more like haiku poetry than it does 5-7-5 poetry, Anonymous Poet. Seventeen syllables does not make a poem a haiku necessarily. But the lack of punctuation, humor, and capitalization does.
In 5-7-5, capitalization and punctuation is permissible--even encouraged--where as in haiku poetry it's verbotten, or frowned upon.
Still, one cannot fault the beautiful imagery you've created here in so few words.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Thanks for this one. It is charming and sounds / exodus and dusk/ like a poem. the imagery is fine and the entire presentation comes off nicely, especially with the cinnamon specks.
