Autumn Is Called Fall For A Reason Comments

Rating: 4.3

The crisp autumn air is filled
With the scent of fallen leaves..
It's almost as if they're just
Cast away from their parent trees

A very well written poem.... like others said, I never really gave it much thought about leaves falling and where they go.... Great job!

This poem is short but deep, yeah autumn is beautiful but the leaves “die” every year. I didn't really think about that so far but this is reality, and reality is always somehow sad. Good work!

This poem is perfect. You made your point and didn't try to get too clever or stray away from your very powerful message. If you ever wanted to expand this out, and this is just an option, You could talk about leaves that are piled into a bunch with a rake and mulched to make new soil to feed the parent tree.

I like how you capture the death of the leaves in fall. I also like how this poem can be interpreted in more than one way and applied to other incidences of death and pushing others away. It's sad, well written and the imagery is there.

You have touched upon one of the most everlasting themes and also conundrums of nature; short life with an unsung future, yet your poem is a song for the unsung.

The phrasing and imagery are perfect and when I read it out loud the tone comes with bitter melancholy and a terrible dread that makes me want to run for someone lithium for a pick me up. This is definitely a personal fav and I could read it again and again.

out of all your poems, this was the one that resonated with me. the undertones of melancholy were subtle and not too overpowering. well written.

you are doing well Tiffany, your poem gives depth and feeling and explanation of what autumn is all about, Me pesonally am a 4 to six line poet writer where the last word of the line either two lines together rhymes, or every 2 nd line rhymes, as in cat brat, like the king was such a handsome man who loved to drive his comfy van; spreading cheer, to all he could, the sad, the lonely that lived in the wood. or like this, what are those breaks on the ice below, with such slippery wetness i see, and feel, and as I get close to where the breaks show, I find theyre bear marks, as I fall and feel a heel. But I like the way you write yours well done. keep up the good work.

The crisp autumn air is filled With the scent of fallen leaves.. Scattered along the ground Their souls shiver in the mass grave I especially loved these lines.........its a sweet write! ! :)

I think you should edit this poem a little bit and trim it until it's sharper. Make it cut, if you know what I mean. I like the poem. I like how it isn't really about the season at all, but it can be deceptive enough for people to not realize that the whole poem is actually a metaphor. Don't take my criticism as judging or whatever. I just think you have potential and fluffy comments won't help you get any better.

carry on, Tiffany, the poem expresses feelings of fall, oak leaves likened to souls...

Your message seems broad, but I like that. That way I can make that connection to from the poem to myself. It is very heartrich.

Autumn is my favorite season, I think it's interesting that to you, falling leaves are a graveyard whereas for me they are a painting made my nature once a year, every year. The more they fall, the more colorful they are, the more beautiful the painting.
