Jenna Logan Poet Acrostic

Autumnal Visions

As Autumn exhibits seasonal changes that abound
Undeniable is the glorious beauty that can be found
Tree foliage is a burnished canopy, gilded by the sun
Upon the land, there is harvesting work to be done
Mother Nature ripens fields, crops of yellow maize
North winds begin to blow, and shortened are days
Autumn paints with colors of rust, crimson and gold
Lovely are hills of maple and birch, visions to behold

Vagabond avian fly south, in need of warmer weather
I am in awe of their formation as they flock together
September stirs my soul with picturesque perfection
Inspiring me for the next month with rapt reflection
October, harbinger of Halloween ghosts and treats
Nights for dancing beneath the stars on city streets
Splendid vistas of Fall are culpable for my heart beats

Christuraj Alex October 14, 2021 at 9:57 AM Great writing with beautiful imagery. Congratulations!

L Milton Hankins September 27, 2021 at 9:59 AM Beautiful, exquisite writing. I'm so glad I'm not judging this contest. I have read some fine autumn acrostics, but this one is clearly right up there at the top, I'd think. Like Jan said "best entry I have seen so far..." I guess I can withdraw my paltry effort! Good stuff! Jenna Logan September 27, 2021 at 10:55 AM You will not withdraw your entry! I sincerely thank you for the admirable remarks, Milt.

Jan Allison September 27, 2021 at 8:55 AM the best entry i have seen so far so rich with autumnal imagery, love the vagabond avians, that made me smile as i love to see the birds fly in formation:-) a huge fave for me, makes my entry look poor. hugs jan xx Jenna Logan September 27, 2021 at 9:05 AM I thank you for your inspiring compliments, Jan, but nothing you write is poor. Thanks for the fave.

Victor Buhagiar September 27, 2021 at 8:08 AM Grand picture of the Fall. The phrase vagabond avian surprised me a lot. Best for a win. Jenna Logan September 27, 2021 at 8:53 AM Many thanks for your visits and remarks, Victor.

Harry Horsman September 27, 2021 at 7:38 AM Oh so visual, Jenna, Autumn is truly a season of splendid colours and wondrous poetic words of poetry, of which your pen certainly enhances the theme. Jenna Logan September 27, 2021 at 8:52 AM Thank you so much for your thoughts, Harry. Compliments that I value. Nice to see you.

Tom Cunningham September 27, 2021 at 7:04 AM Everything about my favourite season of autumn you've captured here in your well written acrostic, the cooler weather and what I always love to see is the geese flying south honking and hinking in v formation. Tom Jenna Logan September 27, 2021 at 8:52 AM I'll not rob you of your basket filled with N/As, Tom. I have more than enough. ha ha. I can't believe I even started entering contests again, but time is a commodity I have lots of again. Tom Cunningham September 27, 2021 at 7:30 AM Well I am surprised Jenna,your entries were perfect. Still think a panel would be a better way rather than one person but that's just my opinion. As for n/a's I've got loads you can have lol. Jenna Logan September 27, 2021 at 7:08 AM Can I nominate you to help judge this contest, Tom? lol I'm on a losing streak...2 N/As in the last 2 days. My Frankenstein party was a loser, and so was my Gaseous Squeaker. I'm delighted to learn that you liked my entry. I find Autumn to be an invigorating time of year.
