Having just returned from a road trip through rural Iowa, this poem said it all for me. Nature offers us so much beauty and it is "too soon gone." Good job.

I love the photo and the gorgeous colors. I can feel the cool wind breezes and the comfort of smog free air. I see the beauty of the colorful leaves on the ground and on the trees. I feel the freshness of the cleansing air and the soothing feel of the cool air against my skin and the relaxing touch of the sun on my face. Thanks

Lovely use of alliteration....also liked the sentiment...re-read for typing errors...2nd verse, 2nd line...left out the word in
In the last stanza, in the last line the word should be too
I wondered about your capitalization in the last verse...when you capitalized most of the lines in the previous verses.
Overalll well done...with a beautiful picture attached.

You seem to have been away for a while - perhaps taking a trip into the future if the last detail in your notes is correct! :O)

This is a lovely portrait of the fall season, and what comes across most is the genuineness of the positive comments, together with a light and happy touch to the description as in this section:
The effort is worthwhile without a doubt.
Go walk a crunching, color-coated path,
Or jump a pile to take a leafy bath.

I love this pleasing season's pretty sights!

Steve

Typo in last line - should read, 'TOO short'.

8th line needs a syllable less to retain meter, so maybe, 'orange' instead of 'oranges'.

11th line, I think you mean, 'IN the air'.

Top imagery in excellent examples of autumn.

Excellent alliteration and rhymes throughout.

Apart from my 2 nit-picks, excellent meter, too.

Nice one.

Cheers, Ray

My absolute most favorite time of year - just love autumn. Your phrase: Go walk a crunching, color-coated path, is so visual and the artwork choice is terrific. Nicely done. AT=/
