I admired your description of the shifting seasons in this ABC Poem. Your alliteration of "s's" and "a's" plus the "overture" metaphor are very effective. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

This is such a lovely ABC poem that I almost hate to bring up the following point but will in the spirit good sportsmanship.
An ABC poem has five lines, not four.
You'll either need to begin your poem with a word starting with the letter "Q", or begin the forth line with the letter "U".

Quietly quaint--
Russet leaf
swirls slowly down
through Summer's heat,
autumnal overture

Russet leaf
swirls slowly down
through Summer's heat,
umbilical branch broken,
autumnal overture ... Just a couple of ideas...

I'm not docking you any stars as I'm sure you will correct this before contest time rolls around.
Good luck!
~Dean
