Queens of fall indeed. With fifty sahdes of green, no one is complainign about the lack of greenery, smiles.
The brillianc eof hte colors is a paradise for natural colors combination designs.
Nature has a way of telling us how to blend colors witht he natural surroundings.
Truly a beautiful lane of colors as penned by the story and the pic.
Excellent nonet and good luck to the contest.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

    I didn't win but thanks for the best wishes anyway LOL. Good to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed Queens of Fall. We are creating a stir with our Duet... Love, Carolyn

    Hi Carolyn,

    Tom aka Tresichel said that we blended so well, he couldn't tell who wrote what in the Duet, smiles.
    I always believed that poetry had no form or signature unless we wanted to place it there.
    I shall be reading your reviewers comments in the Duet Poem and I do hope you are reading what they wrote in Part 2.
    Your Duet Poem with Karen will raise a desert storm that can take the readers to a land of dreams and heartaches. Smiles.
    Cheerio, bro Ritchie, hugs, :))

A very pleasant picture painted in one's mind from the photo and your words. Great job with the nonet. Your words flowed well into the required lines/syllables.

The photo rounds out the descriptive verse.

And these words speak volumes. Well Done Journey Woman

Boy oh boy that was as about as perfectly descriptive as the colors and beauty of the fall season as I've ever read. Just beautiful in every way possible!

It is autumn. The colours are wonderful
This such a beautiful writing.
I love it very much.

I hope you got my explanation why God knows everything.
I am wondering if you got it.like to think that it was not offending. If it is please forgive me.

    Bennie, I am glad you enjoyed Queens of Fall. Yes I did get your thoughts on how God sees everything. I thought I replied, I appreciated your time and sensitivity to the subject, as well as the loving manner in which you sent your message. You did not offend me at all. Quite the contrary, although we may not share the exact viewpoint in all areas , we certainly agree that God has no form and is everywhere, be it London or America. I plan to release 'Papa's answer to Faith' shortly. Thank you for your wonderful support and encouragement. :-) Carolyn

Great metaphor-the autumnal trees could look like queens in jewel studded coverings of red, green, yellow, and purple. Best line:Absence of chlorophyll.

    Thanks, Carol. I've been busy editing and proofreading my book for publishing. I'm working on two new pieces whenever I take a break.

The winding road stretched before me ...8 could add it stretched

Tree-lined creating canopy ... 8

Entourage of brilliance.... 7

Absence of chlorophyll ...6

Designer colors .... 5

Royalty's robe ..... 4

Majestic ...3

Queens of ... 2

Fall ...1


This is beautiful Carolyn so descriptive but I make the syllable count 8 on opening line . The road stretched me all 1 syllable winding and before 2 syllables I am sure you can find an easy fix regards Jill and Erick

My gratitude to you Carolyn for sharing this Nonnet style poem with fans, myself and other readers/writers. I must compliment you very much for your choice of pictures which complements your poem and vice a versa. Your choice of directing and coloring your imagery of the falls most breathtaking visions which also describes the type of season that you have well worded in your verse is magnificent. You have a Good one and God bless.
