This is a very well written Ode to Autumn you have penned for the writing prompt using the 5-7-5 format. You used very good descriptive words and very lovely imagery. As I read your words I could just imagine an autumn day with a piece of pumpkin pie and coffee. Best wishes in the contest. love and blessings, Teri

Your poem described one of autumn's best attributes--the
scents unlike any of the other seasons, Jessica. I enjoyed reading
it. The art paired perfectly with it. Great job with the syllable
count per line. Your words were descriptive and perfect for a
Fall morning.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

A different take on Autumn, and I like the focus on the aroma of Autumn instead of the colours. It's well done, and the accompanying image iis a good choice. Best wishes for your entry.

This is a very good poem, although we are in Spring, where I am. Your vivid words and picture help to bring your words alive. Pumpkin spice is not my favorite but it sounds nice in your poem. Good work! :))

I enjoyed reading your poem. Autumn is my favorite season and I liked how you decided to focus on the fragrance of autumn. I also liked the art you used, it helped connect the pumpkin spice fragrance imagery to autumn.
