Oh such lovely imagery Pixie. You capture the season and spirit of autumn so delightfully.. 'acorns full of french berets' - so whimsical - and with cozy warmth.. 'the evening hearth that says "you're truly blessed" - such beautiful emotion imbues your poem my friend. A superb piece! Best wishes for a win.. ~Susan
