In my opinion, while this is indeed a splendid poem, it did not comply with the prompt, as did none of the other entries. I contacted the CEC in this regard, that they advise the entrants accordingly, affording you all the opportunity to revise submissions, but, obviously this was not done, and correspondingly, I received no response. Apparently none of you were advised. I find it singularly abhorrent that FanStory's established protocol is subject to modification upon the prerogatives or whim of individuals placed in defining positions...

Apparently none of us understood the directions. I am sorry.

You have absolutely no reason to apologize - you did nothing wrong - you wrote a gorgeous poem and the other entries were beautiful as well. The prompt requirements made little sense in their conflict with the title of the prompt. That was the reason I did not consider joining you all...Eve

My error wasn't on purpose, and I thank you for your comments.

Of course it wasn't - I knew that immediately. None of you writers were to blame. I am so sorry this type of thing happened again. It put yet another damper on FanStory's ethics for me, for not addressing this with you all by defining the requirements clearly and offering the opportunity to rewrite in accordance with the title, which glaringly conflicted with prompt instruction...Eve

A beautiful poem, and very well written, save for the syllable count in line four being three, and this causing the count to be off in the rest of the poem. Other than that, your words are very descriptive, and evoke good imagery.

I caught that after the voting began so I didn't think I should change it. After the voting is over I intend to correct it. Thank you for the review and the comments.

You used the colors of Autumn! And such made a poem out of a handful of words. Your description was wonderful and I could notice the colors and the smells of Autumn in the air!
Good luck with the contest!

I really like this colorful and flowing verse. It seems to be moving on the page. I like the description of sultry summer... spot on... the humidity does keep everything sweltering. Great job on this and good luck to you.
