A very well-written minute poem about the transition from summer to autumn that is a wonderful time of year when the green leaves start changing into golden colors.

This poem is excellently lyrical. You could set the words to music. You express the ending of summer. "a truth foregone that time moves on". There is a smoothness to this poem when read aloud. I enjoy the words being somewhat olde fashioned! Best of luck in the contest. Blessings to you.

You have written a very fine example of a minute poem. I seem to struggle with this format myself. But this was a lovely portrait of autumn when leaves become
tomb's amber hall

they reach the ground

in silent sound

The words flowed nicely. Didn't feel contrived. Well done.

Excellent entry into the Minute Poetry contest! This is just so rich and inviting to the senses. It is a great telling of an well-told tale, the passage of time, the changing of the seasons. Excellent word choice! Nice meter and rhyme. Good luck in the contest!

Lovely minute poem! I could really feel the transitional phase of the seasons through your words. The first stanza is so descriptive of the falling amber leaves (beautiful picture, too). Then the next one moves us to thoughts of some ominous change and finally, there's that last look behind to "summer's wane." Well done!

Excellent. I love the fall and you've described it perfectly. I like the transition of seasons in this. Foretells winter with the change of summer to the fall. Very good pace and rhyming. Beautiful picture. Hugh

Autumn being my favorite season of them all, Anonymous Poet, I found your Minute Poem contest entry a true delight to read.
After all, who doesn't love seeing the word "hoarfrost" used from time to time?
Excellent composition.
Good luck!

What an immaculate minute poem here. The image within the writing can stand alone. You paint it so well. However, the image you've chose to accompany this is perfection. The language is reminiscent of olden times and the lovely presentation is flawless. Just an amazing minute poetry suite you've written here. No changes required. The entire write is dripping with concrete, yet, delicate verbiage that describes summer's parting and Autumn's place on stage. Well done, writer. Wish you the best in the contest with this perfect minute poetic piece.
Janelle
