I have to say that I have recently become a fan of the minute poetry style. You seem to have perfected it with this well crafted entry my friend.
God bless!

O-h-h-h-hhhh...this is a very well written Minute, DD.
Proper syllable count, exceptional rhyming, and a dark, spooky theme to go along with it.
I've read several of the entries for this contest and in my humble opinion, this is one of the best I've read thus far.
Of course, it could just be that I'm partial to the subject matter.
Time will tell...

This is a beautifully written minute poem you've penned for the contest.
This middle stanza is my favorite:
"As autumn wind ferociously
whipped every tree
to creak and sway ~
birds screeched away."
Nice job! ~Kerry

Hi, there is pain here and those imageries are heartbreaking, specially in poetry, they become bigger drops of tears. The words are well chosen and say a lot more than they are intended t. Well done.

What a great concept in your poem. Well described and presented. All sounds of night are heard until they end abruptly, eerily. Good stuff. Much luck in the contest with this fine entry. Marilyn

G'day, DD,

Be prepared for some frank opinions.

I especially like your involving first stanza. The second follows nicely, until it runs into a misspelling. I'm sure you meant the wind made those trees 'creak' and sway.

I have one serious reservation about the third (which I wouldn't point out if we weren't buddies). 'Skillfully,' while rhyming nicely, implies the growing crescendo was inspired by some conductor, and instantly grates. 'Chillingly,' while not as good for the rhyme, I believe, would work well. Of course, you might come up with something better.

I hope you don't mind my critique, DD. I'm rooting for you.

Don

    Dig your honest and open comments Don. Your keen eye caught my misspell and I appreciate the thoughts on a word change in the third stanza. Love your critiquing! ~DDoxo
