I love the haiku feel of your eight word poem! It gives me the sense of the passing season and hushed whispers as the silent season of winter approaches. Best wishes in the contest!
I just read your profile and I'm astounded that you only started writing poetry here four years ago. Phenomenal writing growth - shows you always were a poet at heart!

You have made excellent use of your mere eight words to describe the departure of fall, making way for winter. Expressive use of meaphor and personification

superb Short piece with a haunting beauty, especially resonates with me as I enter the fourth quarter of my life. Well done and hope you continue to have the quiet time to write your superb poetry.

Hi there Tim!!! I do not believe you are anywhere near your fourth quarter... maybe halftime :). Thank you for your lovely review, my friend!

What a meaningful poem, and aptly illustrated with beautiful golden trees. You made me think their breathed whispers really are golden too:)
Best to you!

Your presentation is beautiful, Melissa. Your 8 words were carefully chosen, the image is awesome, the personification is great, the near rhyme sounds super, and your words create great imagery.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

I don't normally care for such short poems, but this is too beautiful to pass up. Beautifully presented and worded, it makes me feel how Autumn just slowly goes to sleep and Winter comes in for its turn.

Beautiful serene personification of autumn's decline into winter. Consonance contributes to the tenderness of the write. A fine poem, Melissa. Unforced and flowing. Writing about nature is your forte, I think.
Best of luck in the contest
Stay safe and blessed

Yes Nature is my muse. She connects me with all that is. I've felt that way since I was a child.
