fall

fall sky littered with leaves red few young greens kiss empty nest worn winds heave sighs of lost hope bidding adieu - laid to rest.

Upasana, a wonderfully penned poem. Love the imagery of the falls leaves and movement and the ending. Congratulations on your winning placement.

This is a superb interpretation of fall, Upasana ! It has genius innuendo. The enjambment line is so subtle, yet strong. Congrats on placement. X.

Congratulations on your third-place win, Upasana, in my jueju contest. At first, you had me scratching my head, until I distilled the essence of the jueju by isolating the phrases, for example: ‘fall sky / littered / with leaves red’, etc. The concise imagery was maintained throughout in this classic jueju and the emotional resonance is not amiss. The final 3-syllable phrase is a strong, reflective turn—mirroring how jueju often ends with a philosophical or emotional insight.
