This is beautiful and interesting. The simple nature (ha, accidental play on words) of the poem lends itself to double-entendre meaning. While yes, you are talking about trees in autumn, you are implicitly talking about naked people (most likely women), the likes of which is probably conjured by the use of words like "strip" and "bare limbs." Even better, the poem could be read into further, and one could get the meaning of stripping oneself bare emotionally as well. So very clever. I commend you. Excellent job.

Thank you, A.R. for your excellent review, I appreciate it. I'm also glad that you enjoyed it. Yes, this short piece can be interpreted several ways. Have a great weekend my friend.
Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Mystery Poet
I really enjoyed your 5-7-5 about autumn, my favorite season of the year. I like the comparison you make of it to a striptease show. My thought, a woman is more sexy with clothes on than off. Same goes for the hardwood trees of late September and early October when colors are simply gorgeous. Bare limbs of November don't stir the heart at all.
"as the trees remove their leaves"... good reading here with the long "e" sounds of "trees" and "leaves". Also the personification, "trees remove", brings the trees to life.
This is a refreshing way to look at autumn's splendor. Good Luck in the contest. I'll go and vote now if the booths are still open.
cheers

Comment from Poetic Friend
This is too funny. A tree striptease. How clever! Also, in its brevity, this poem comes bearing stunning imagery. I saw the trees losing their leaves, and I saw the trees exposing their bare limbs.
Excellent writing!
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Katie. I love that name, it was my Mothers name. Yes, I thought I would try a new twist, the regular way becomes boring after awhile. Have a great day my friend...

I like 5-7-5 poetry it's simple and the words just seem to flow. You did a good job on this one, and I enjoyed your naked tree. A bit of humour is nice now and then. Keep writing. You did well. Good luck.
