birthing does happen in the spring. There are flowers popping out of the earth, budding of trees and the producing of green grass from the ground. Spring brings wonders.

What a wonderful poem and I love the picture. Many people are writing poems about how life recycles life. Great Job!

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

I love the fall season. I love the way the colored leaves introduce winter's white and leave their footprints on the ground. I really enjoy your poem and look forward to this season. I live in Chicago, so it's going to be a bitter winter I hear.

I so do not envy your winters hunker down.

First of all, you might wish to change the line near the heading: 'Autumn soon will tightened (tighten) its grip'.

Now for your poem - it is delightful how you have portrayed autumn so realistically yet poetically as well. I do feel like I have taken up your invitation to walk with you among the trees.

I enjoyed reading your poem about my favorite season also. Although here where I live we're setting heat records nearly every day.

Your picture is beautiful and matches the words of your poem perfectly. Good luck in the contest...Bill

Autumn is wonderful except that it leads to winter which is a bad time of year for my depression. I can already feel the effects of shorter days. This is a lovely poem, my friend~Debbie

I love the way this poem is written and the way you explain how leaves are still useful after falling to the ground.
These are my favourite lines:
with colors going flat, are in transition.
A new mission; to decay and blend in the clay.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello JLR. Your descriptive narrative describes the events that occur in Autumn. I have said before that is my favorite season but the downside is winter follows...closely. Good luck in the contest. Robert

Robert, winter does following much too closely, I so would prefer to skip right over the greatness.
