Haiku Sonnet Poetry Contest

~Placed First~

Sponsor- Joanna Daniel

orange, gold and red, like sparkling gems on queen’s crown~ mother earth in sheen gaudy leaves blown down, lie in heaps before they fade~ burning tongues of fire laid under our feet, autumn leaves of varied hue~ a neat patchwork quilt. dry leaves fly about, hastened by autumnal breeze~ journey to the grave gently laid to rest, on nature’s warm breast.

Hi Valsa. A quick note. According to syllable counter on this website, the third line of second stanza has six syllables. Sorry to point this, I am learning how to count syllables. Thanks.

The syllables have to be checked with How Many Syllables.com. The last line of second stanza has only 5 syllables and not six. Thanks.

'burning tongues of fire' -- a most memorable line, Valsa ... In fact, too many of those to mention in this little box. Soul-stirring and Memory-Corridor-haunting write! ~ Gershon
