Hi There,
what an interesting poem. You taught me some new things about Autumn in your notes, and the poem mirrored those. What a great write.
I do hope you do well in the contest.
I like the rhymed endings and the flow of this.
Well done.

I think this is a good entry for the Autumn Rarities and Reflections contest.
Your well rhymed verse tells a wonderful story about the beginning of Autumn.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

This is an outstanding poem with the form of monorhymed tercets. Far too often we think of poetry as quatrains rather than being creative. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

"Autumn ritual", is an extremely well-written and deftly descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.

I had a dim-witted cousin who drowned while bobbing for apples. I guess he really wanted one. Your poem is an excellent contest entry and the picture perfectly illustrates it.

This work has reached the exceptional level

How things have changed today, now they just go on Tinder to look for their preferred apples, ha ha. Of course that is not a seasonal game it is all year round.
I enjoyed the tale of Demeter and Persephone and their connection to Autumn. I think my wife must have picked the right apple, 27 years and counting, ha ha. Great rhyming too... impressive! Good luck
