Comment from Joan E.
I enjoyed your use of the Nonet form to describe the changing of the seasons. I admired your "final formal Dance" metaphor and could sense Winter's chill. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Comment from PoemsOfDD
Dragonpoet, this is a good entry for the Nonet poem contest. All syllables are in check with this seasonal poem bringing life in colour to what is left on the trees before the cloak of winter drapes the autumn trees in white. Nicely done and best of luck in the competition. ~DD

Comment from Kaye Ouston
Perfectly executed for this contest. Well thought out words that impress upon the reader natures changing environment with a playful slant and original description of the Autumn season preceding the Winter snow. Best of luck for this entry. Great job!

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
DG,
You did a great job with the contest prompt. All lines/syllables are correct. I really like the personification of nature & the trees & the touches of alliteration of 't' & 'f'. Your lines read well.
Best wishes. Jan

Nicely written nonet poetry contest entry. I liked the descriptions of fall...
"Nature dresses some trees for their Annual final formal" Paints a picture of fall colors. If you're like me, you couldn't find a picture that fit the theme of your poem.. but a picture would have added to it. (mine poem is about a peanut-no pictures of that in Fanstory). Well done.

Thanks for the review and kind words. I rarely use pictures for I feel the words should create their own and if you get
published in book form, poetry is almost never illustrated. And you are right I can never find a fitting picture on fanart.

I really like how you personify nature right at the beginning. A complete and detailed story with just a few words. This is an excellent Nonet contest entry. Good luck.

Comment from mermaids
You did well with the nonet form and I love your use of words in which Autumn is dressed in her Fall formal. You make Autumn a live character that "dances to the wind's music". Best wishes for the contest.

Comment from Oliveforlove
The personification of autumn is successful and I like the imagery of the trees being 'dressed' and the branches staying 'warm'. The shape of the poem is suggestive of leaves falling quicker and quicker - if you feel it needs a sense of slowing perhaps add a punctuation break after music. Like it a lot.

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This speaks about dressing and enjoyment in Nature at advent of the season, trees dress with their annual formal and dance to the wind's music as they keep warm against snow; I liked.
