Hi, my name is Ned and this review is based on my personal impressions and opinions. Feel free to take what you think is useful, and ignore the rest. This is just my way of letting the author know how this reader reacted to the item being reviewed.


TITLE: The title is lovely and descriptive. While the image is not a part of the poem, it is perfect to illustrate the title and the poem's subject.

FORM: The poem is written in quatrains with an ending couplet.

RHYTHM/RHYME: The rhyme scheme is aabb and is used well throughout the poem. The rhymes flow well and lend a musical quality to the verses.

IMAGERY: Imagery is the strong suit of this poem. The image of green grass being turned gold by the falling leaves appeals to the senses and paints a vivid picture of the season in an unusual way.

FAVORITE LINE(S): "Gold leaves in her hair, Autumn stands there". This line personifies Autumn and matches the image exactly. I love the description of autumn as shaking the gold leaves from her hair.

SUGGESTIONS: I really love the poem as it is, but I think it might have been stronger if you had stayed with the original concept of autumn and describing autumn rather than a sudden rush into winter at the end. Both seasons hold so much beauty and magic.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: I really enjoyed this poem about autumn. The imagery was fresh and evocative about a subject that is a well-covered one in poetry.
