Hello Dolly. Thank you for your lovely words. I hope you get a break from really bad weather and can just enjoy the lazy flakes that drift down.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Right away I notice something I would like to correct. A better second line would be while golden whispers breathe! The first line is excellent but the second line drags it down.
You may still have a chance to win the contest if they don't notice the second line too much!
Keep writing you have real potential so don't give up the ship!
Take good care of yourself, and please, don't sweat the small stuff!

Comment from Jasmine Girl
Yes. The fall is long gone by now. It were quiet yet gentle with the whispering of the leaves rustling. This poem is very beautifully written with the correct word count.
Well done and good luck.

Autumn slowly slinks away making way for mr winter will his chills and frills and hangs around till spring time once again melting away. Mother Nature brings life back into beautiful flowers and trees for all to enjoy.

I like the way you have used this eight word form to create two iambic trimeters, the first with a feminine ending and the second a straight trimeter. The imagery created is is appropriately autumnal.

Hi Jim. Thank you for your review of this short one. These are always tough to do and I thought I would approach it with meter. :)

This is my favorite of the 8-word poems I have read so far, Sugarray. It has a warmth and calmness to it that is really beautiful. The image you selected also pairs nicely with your carefully chosen words. Thank you for sharing. Best of luck in the contest.

I like your work! This short poem makes a striking point. The picture goes very well with it.
Your poem captured attention and was not awkward or forced.

So perfect - that tree bent as we with old bones understand. Eight words were equally perfect. You did a fine job with this and the haunting artwork is so eerie and mood-inducing. A fine entry for the contest...best of luck to you!
