Excellent

I absolutely loved your poem! The way you capture fall with and its beauty is so wonderful. The description of the leaves as a "million-piece jigsaw puzzle" is perfect! Your portrayal of the season's arrival is beautifully detailed. Fantastic work!

Thank you so much for the kind review.

I love Autumn for its vivid colours but also its many tastes.

I'm surrounded by woods full of chestnuts and a pine forest with mushrooms.

I thought it would be nice to showcase another face of Autumn.

Keep safe!

Excellent

Very pretty and clever poem that follows the restrictive conditions to a T.

I have a small query about the truffles section as to whether it really aligns with the key lines 'Fall makes its fiery debut.' Great line by the way. I know fall is when truffles are harvested, so perhaps close enough.

Excellent rhyming especially the puzzle/guzzle/muzzle trio.

Good luck.

Steve

Though you can find them all year round, the sagra of the tartufo (truffle) is in October here.

We also have one for mushrooms and chestnuts.

I wanted to showcase another face of autumn.

Folks gather in the main square and eat risotto with fresh porcini and polenta with sausages.

and drink vin brule (mulled wine) !

Thank you for the kind review!
