I love this one, Melissa, some vivid imagery and the earthy voices changing keys and melodies is a lovely way to imagine the changing of the guard.
Wishing you great luck with the Committee with this beauty. :))

Comment from Jasmine Girl
What a musical poem about the golden autumn. I like your using of the musical words like "serenade", "cantatas" and "melodies". I could almost hear it , the rustle of the leaves.
Well done.

Comment from Lobber
Well hello my friend,
As a music teacher, how could I not love a poem with at least eight musical terms, plus your A B C D E - all of which are notes in Western music.
Bravo!

Beautiful write Melissa. You extend the metaphor with creativity and flair. The musicality of the poem enhances the effect of your mellow words
"cantatas flow from quaking leaves"
is an unforgettable line.
I wish you the very best in the contest.
Stay safe healthy and blessed

Comment from lyenochka
Lovely autumn poem in ABC form! I liked your metaphor of serenades, cantatas, and melodies for the sounds of autumn. And you even create the mix of sight and sound with "dulcet tones with dusky shades."
Best wishes in the contest!

Hello Helen!!! Thank you for your lovely comments. I was thinking about listening to the golden leaves and how they are raspy when the wind blows. I appreciate your perspective on this verse, Helen. :)

Gorgeous offering in ABC format. The rich descriptions take me away to a beautiful fall day. I'm lost in memories of my native Georgia in this one. Sublime! Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

Thank you so much Sally! Well, I can tell you that central Virginia has not one golden leaf yet... sure hope they are on the way soon. :). So appreciate you Sally!

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Outstanding flow; no forcing between lines; love the rhyme; excellent imagery. I can't choose a favorite line for the beauty of each individual line blends smoothly into the following line, ending with a brilliant and soothing last line.
Awesome entry for the contest! Oh, also, quite a beautiful presentation.
