Your words plus art paint a great nature picture, Zanya.
I enjoyed reading your poem. There's smooth flow and
you created great imagery for readers. Great job with the
syllable count per line, too.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

This is a work of beauty, although the picture makes me nervous (spider...). You did a good job with your Ode to Autumn. Thanks for sharing it here. Best wishes.

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last
line put the poem all together. I remember those chilling
autumn mornings when I loved in New York. The artwork is
awesome and compliments the words and theme of this poem.

Really great work here, mystery writer. Knowing full well that you will likely get a bit of avoidance from the arachnophobes on this site, I will speak for them that if they could look at the image you've provided, they would find some really beautiful work here. First, the sun hitting dew drops on a web is one of the most beautiful sites of fall. I love this notion that the web, itself, is quivering, whether from the spider or from the drops hitting the intricate weaving. Second, chill or crisp autumn mornings are so refreshing, and I think you really captured that essence in this brief work. Thank you for sharing. Best of luck in the contest.

One wouldn't think of a spider's web as a sign of autumn, but you are right. On those cold autumn mornings, if one is lucky enough to see a spider's web, it will "quiver."

Lines one and two are sublime. Line three doesn't do it for me even though it has five syllables. idk/ We all write differently. The loci is fine but perhaps something like "chilly autumn morns flows fluidly. Good luck.

Your poem is unique, it was a pleasant change from the usual autumn poem. I really enjoyed the read. The picture compliments your poem. Together they make a wonderful presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Ciao poet, you have your first vote.

Autumn is my favourite season , I love the vivid hues . All entries ( except three ) praised this aspect.

Your entry was creative , original and stood out from the crowd.

I love watching a spider weave its webs
After a drizzle, it resembles a pearl necklace.

Webs that quiver are beautiful too .

The spider catches on quickly that the movement is not because a meal has been caught in its sticky web and needs to be wrapped in its silky thread.

Love your artwork choice too.

Great for the prompt. A virtual six. I long this image: spider web quivers
with raindrops. I can picture this description so clearly. Well done and good luck with the prompt.

That's very interesting, about the the rain, I never thought of that, so it's a variable to the dangers of successful operations for a web weaving spider. Beautifully written my friend, good luck, in the contest, blessings Roy
