What a stunning photo!
If your goal is to be descriptive, you're doing great! :-)
I like your appeal to more than one sense and the imagery of the curtain being drawn
lovely use of personification
that creates a lovely, serene atmosphere
This is delightful and brimming full of descriptive detail :-) Brooke

This is a beautifully sustained metaphor for Autumn going to bed. I love 'curtains drawn' and 'pulls frosted covers up'. Really well done.

Well I personally think you've nailed descriptive lines with - green valley pulls frosted covers up - It does give a sense of the cool autumn evening

Not a bad poem. Just too short, in my opinion. The image you have chosen is very good. I just don't think you should have ended it so abruptly. You need to trust yourself enough to get out of your comfort zone. You have talent. Just believe in yourself. -nevermore713

I love this metaphoric visual of a valley. Fine personification as she pulls up her frosty covers for 'late autumn slumber'(good continued 'l' consonance from previous lush/ valley pulls)
