Hello author your first verse starts how of how drab the season of autumn is real described








Hello author your first verse has very good drab images of Autumn
I 'm wondering why you changed autumn to come before summer
I like both of your 'explicit image of summer and autumn

A very well-written poem about the season transition from summer to autumn. The summer slowly cools down and the grass start to turn brown and the leaves fall from the trees and autumn becomes the new season.

What a beautiful picture that made this poem. The poem is very well written with lots of imagery that was brought to live by the picture. I enjoyed the poem very much.

Review by Henry: This verse is full of nature with explicit and colorful word images. It did not deliver the message of change from summer to autumn. It begins with dry brown autumn, then summer heat, changes to winter when crickets disappear, then ends with spring's rebirth. Maybe, shuffling the verses would present that stated change.

It was beautiful. I loved how you described the changing of seasons from summer to autumn. The picture you chose was great. I think its good to change it to suit what you are writing.

Your description of the two seasons certainly resonates with me in this part of the world. All is dry and sere here at the moment. I can't wait to feel the cool rain of autumn as it soaks into the soil bringing the prospect of new life.

This is an excellent shifting seasons contest entry that reminisces a semblance of relay relay race between summer and autumn.

The work highlights the drying up of leaves, cricket sounds,windy,hot weather that occasions outings at the beach as synonymous with the summer season, while rainfall, fresh green leaves, sunshine and twittering birds characterise that of autumn.

The work earns its texture through the use of metaphors, simile and imagery.

Excellent work ! Keep the flag flying!

What a lovely poem and it is illustrated beautifully. I love the explicit images that you create for both seasons. I can just hear the birds and crickets. I do have one suggestion though. I can barely read the words, except for those in yellow. I would keep the background, just embolden the words. Except for that, I would not change a thing.
