Hello mystery writer. The poem is an observation the things that happened in the fall as a result of the change in season. Interestingly, you change the subject in the last two lines. That made it a profound statement about the person being in the fall of their life. Good luck in the contest.

In my opinion, regardless of the form, which I do customarily, this is a gorgeous write I rated according to its personal effect. It is simply beautiful, as is the complementary image, and is perfectly compliant with the prompt - my best wishes in the contest...

I like this. The desire to stay a bit longer, but bowing out gracefully, yielding to the transition. I love the beautiful and descriptive wording you use in this. I enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts through your poetry. I enjoyed reading it. You also have my admiration for attempting to write in that particular form. It must have been difficult.

You speak so well of your garden - it being sort of an Eden. And you ready should you be called. We should all be ready I think. That's what Christ commands. "keep your lamps lit" Good poem

Wow! I am blown away by the wistful beauty of this poem. You capture my heart with the longing of your tattered ferns and wilting flowers. I hate the change of seasons. I always feel as though I did not appreciate the season that is passing. But as you say, fall colors will soon shriek.
And, of course I must mention the poignancy of your final two lines. Everything about this poem is outstanding. I regret that I have only a 5 star rating to award.

This is a well penned Terza Rima which adheres splendidly to all the rules of the form. You use the required color of orange well and the use of vibrant imagery adds to the overall tone and flavor of the piece. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.
