Would you please read and c/c my autumn poem, posted for HH?

The first four lines are stunning Elaine.

Just because a subject has been written about before, doesn't mean that it can't be used again. I personally love poems about the autumn and each poet has their own take on it. This is a lovely poem and I write about the seasons frequently and will continue to do so.

What Michael said is true, and Hiram is the first to say so.

I will go as far as to say all seasonal poetry is overused but that does not mean it should not be the theme of the poem that wants to blend the elements and the intangibles with the word-song as yours has done sweetly and simply.

Hiram is a great writer. I only know this because of the fact that he has written several masterpieces

which I have saved, thank stars, or they would have been violated. I will not share them. They are my remedy's and my wake-up splashes of icy truths. Some are harsh and dire, some are elegantly macabre, and some...well some are just good stories with unexpected twists. Others are oracular, the KIng of Wands for me, forever his significator.

I was just outside driving, as I returned I noticed my maple tree glowing yellow

the bright street lamp on the other side had lit each leaf independent of the dark sky.

I am not sure if there are too many poems written about the fall, but my word, there is such beauty if we look and stop....

I have watched this tree turn a brilliant red and change to orange and yellow

the three shaded maple here in Canada....for our enjoymeny...each moment I see it differently

This is beautiful, and poets should never stop writing about autumn as long as autumn exists. The conclusion is wonderful.

Yowee I wrote one he wasn't thrilled about, but I like him anyway.

Another said in effect it was cliche.

I didn't express in my defense

but all of us have our own sense.

The list of topics, subjects, themes and fanciful dreams are endless to me,

or so it seems.

Original as they've been expressed before?

Perhaps not, but we all, have a right to seek our own door,

is it trite

to speak poetically of the Sea, or Moon, or forests at night?

Not to me.

To what we have to say and share,

I'm so open to take any dare.

Your poem is really nice , I think HH is funny and lovely to....no I don't think poets should stop writing about the seasons ..............the seasons are nature's illustrations

Your poem is excellent Elaine.

Your colors get better every day!

Good Luck.

Best Wishes.

I guess it's a good poem, but you could have wrote something better...something not about autumn. Just my feelings, let the thumbing down commence.

Elaine, nicely done. This is effective use of a metaphor and very good poetic expression. It works for me.
