Fall

Hot sun-kissed days--- fled and rolled far away. . . . 
Crisp coolness saturates air
Brink to life and decay?

Pumpkins so yellow; melons so mellow
Gnomes appear; fat harvest fills
Crown AUTUMN: queen of year!

Dancing wind ~ jazzy blows, leaves on branches. . . .
Rainbow shower foliage
Trumpet dazzle of death?

Olive, this is a very exciting one for the fall! Great formatting of the lines with bold print here and there. One little thing, your third line was one syllable over the count. nonetheless, an awesome poem. Congrats for your win.

Very wild spirit in this charming poem. Where I live Autumn is a sacred season, with mystery and mirth for all whom prepare for the lovely pain of Winter." Trumpet dazzle of death..." this is serious good poetry, produces fantastic image, feeling and meaning Olive.
