Autumn Zenith

Autumn bequeaths chestnut dappled ethereal forests graciously hued in jeweled kaleidoscope leaves migrating north on primeval quiet river snow tapering under violet winter's xeroxed yielding zenith. 11/13/21 Entered in 'Z' contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Very awesome! My poem got on a stupid path and really made little sense. I spent hours trying to get a somewhat medical X word. Duh. Very impressive to go in order Congratulations!

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this, making me vicariously delight in Autumn's blessings (since I live in an "Autumnless" country.) God bless you...

An exceptionally incredible flawless gem, Michelle! Primeval is one of those tip-of-my-tongue words that in all my writes, you'll not find, ugh! My compliments on your placement in my contest, Aloha!

I was hesitant at first to use 'primeval' but it just fit so well with the feel I was going for, so I am so glad you liked it! Thank you very much for the placement in your contest, William~

Michelle, this is so seamless in its flow and meaning within a context of a very difficult form. I really love 'Ethereal Forests Graciously Hued In Jeweled Kaleidoscope'. Your imagery is gorgeous and original. You really have a keen grasp of balancing your verbs, nouns, and adjectives, and framing them so they thrive with only 3 prepositions and no articles. A master class in the abecedarian style... excellent through and through.

Ironically, the Science of the Heart is playing out before our eyes: your intuition for artistry allows these beautiful words to flow seamlessly, as my brain is creating spreadsheets and pie charts of prepositions and articles, lol. Congrats on your win!

The challenge is to make it flow like one long sentence, I was not even thinking of the specific grammar issues, but am so flattered by your generous support, (and that line was my favorite too!)
