Your syllable count is on the money and your presentation is lovely. I'm not looking forward to needing the shade for those hot, summer days; spring and fall are the seasons I like best!

First of all, I love the image. It's perfect for your 5-7-5.
Your word choice is clever and the rhyming adds to the enjoyment of reading it. Autumn is my favorite season so this was a treat to read.

Well it is way to early for any of this nonsensical end of summer talk. Waaaaaaaay!

Regardless, nice work for the contest. Good luck on your endeavor.

That's our season at the moment, Atumn, and the approaching chill of winter is first felt in the diminished heat of summer. This is a most perceptive view of seasonal change Bill, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

A lovely "Ode to Autumn" poem - must be a contest made by one of our Aussie friends as we're into Spring. I loved the alliteration, and the assonance and internal rhyme in the second line!

Hello :)
I really enjoyed reading your autumn 5-7-5.
You paint a clear picture of the season without mentioning falling leaves or the colours orange and gold! The artwork does that for you.
Great choice of words - nice rhyme in shade fades and a lovely touch of alliteration in winter waits.
Good luck in the contest with this wonderful entry.
Best wishes, Debra

An excellent ode to autumn in 5-7-5 format. I like your sound pairings in line 2, and also the alliteration n the third line. It is cleverly written and has a dtunning image. Best wishes for your entry.

Effective use of language here in this short format poem for the Ode to Autumn portraying some of the main features of the Autumn season 'shade fades' and 'cool rules the days;'
