Comment from Willosa
What a beautiful picture you paint with this lovely poem. I love how you lead us through the garden changing with the season and then relate it to entering the autumn of your own life. Enjoy your fall, while I here in Australia celebrate the beginning of our spring, I planted herbs yesterday in anticipation :-)

I will definitely miss my garden?s splendor as the first frost is predicted for next week. Many thanks for your kind praise of GRAND FINALE and enjoy spring?s coming. Rod
Comment from Mastery
Such a beautiful poem you have written here, author. Splendid text word after word, line after line. I wish I had a sixth star left for you. I especially liked these lines;
"as their allure and charm must surely end.
Oh, see the tattered fronds of all those ferns
which frolicked everywhere, would not stay penned." Bless you. Bob

This is truly a beautiful description of the changing nature of autumn. The gardens summer feast now dwindling as the autumn's perfect colors come into view! Great job on this!

Thank you so much, Diana, for this lovely response to GRAND FINALE.
Comment from Coco Jane
Lots of wonderfully vivid imagery here.
The last stanza seems a bit "chewy," especially the first line. Maybe change it to "I too have reached my crest, and early fall." This will give it more rhythm.
Seasons do not need to be capitalized. Perhaps you have chosen to capitalize them for effect.
I especially like the line about the maples' colors shrieking. Great image there.

Comment from Sharon Haiste
I like your colorful entry for the Orange You Glad It's Autumn contest entry.
You've conveyed the beauty of your summer garden changing to the oranges of fall, and likened it to your fall years.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
This terza rima, Grand Finale, has the proper formatting and astounds the reader with the blasts of color found within the surroundings.
...the tattered fronds of all those ferns
...nasturtiums peak ... maple trees shriek
and it all reminds us of how we will leave this mortal coil with a triumphant departure. Neat.

Thank you so much, Bill, for your wonderful response to GRAND FINALE and those six bright stars. I am delighted you enjoyed my "blasts of color."
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a beautiful garden and the words describe it well. I like how you make the whole poem metaphoric of old age and dying in the couplet.
This must be good place to write.
Good luck and keep writing
