Wow this is great! It DESERVES A six if I had any. I love your choices of words

Dusk settles in as stars shine in the Milky Way.

far
and leave the noble trees bereft of glory fair.

And your poetic tools really pull the reader along. It's Smooth!

And a strong message with amazing imagery.

Well done :)

It is isn't it? There is a lot to remember of late of another time, when life was well different from what it is now. Of course, there's also the weather. Always the weather. Thanks for sharing your wonderful poem. Ulla:)))

Very well written and you have weaved a picture of great detail and focus. I particularly like the line regarding the owl. Some symbolism maybe or maybe just a great detail. The words you choose create an image; musty leaves, noble trees, lofty hills. I enjoyed reading this and I look forward to reading more of your writing.

Wonderful little poem in the pastoral romantic tradition. Nice long languid lines chocked full of colorful images of clouds and mountains, colored leaves and stars and moonlight really created a nice peaceful mood. estory

The autumn is probably my favourite season, with all the changing colours and harvest bustle. I even like it when the trees are bare, they have a different kind of beauty. I've never seen a snowy owl, I'm sure they are beautiful. Your poem has so many lovely images bursting through each line, Janet. It was a real pleasure to read. :) Sandra xx

Hello Janet,
This is a wonderful, descriptive poem of the magic of Autumn.
It reads smoothly with excellent twelve-syllable hexameter
and the alternating rhymes blend into the lines perfectly.
I like the positive feel of autumn as integral to the cycle of life.,
Yes, spring will once again return, building on autumn's bounty.
Perfect picture choice.
Best wishes to you and family,
Robert
