Fall leaves tumble to their slipshod decay, oozing from the crowns of tedious trees. A mephitic scrunch with their latter sway, as they are raked into wide whisking seas. Coral-hued yew berries grace the yard's path, late hollyhocks, and sunflowers shine bright. Marigolds adorn door homes with gold lath, thorn twigs in crimson holes dapple faxed sight. As the bounty of nature sparks strange start, saffron periwinkle countless bright shades. Giving a boost to the Fall grandeur art; the hues of oak trees fluctuate by glades. Topaz leaves stuck in a sapphire whisk breeze; fall reveals deep facts, a sprint ember squeeze.

Dear Sotto, congratulations for your placement in the contest. Your poem is just exquisite. Wonderful imagery Sonnet. I can feel the Grandeur of Fall in my my mind, with all those trees painting colours around us, that now are waiting for the next dress to wear. It will be a while until there, meanwhile let us enjoy with your creativity. Thanks a lot Sotto, for describing so well the beauty of life. Blessings!

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this... delightful and delighting as well as the photo, making me vicariously behold the grandeur of Fall, since I live in an "Autumnless" country. Thanks likewise for my placement in your latest contest. God bless you.

If your poems are studied in detail, one can double one's vocabulary and word power. Your range of words and images are limitless. A beautiful poem on the grandeur of Fall. With coral hued yew berries, hollyhocks, marigolds and sunflowers, what a splendid scene you have created. All the best dear friend.

dearest Sotto--the imagery within your Sonnet painted a picture that I could easily envision in my mind's eye. I especially liked 'A mephitic scrunch with their latter sway, as they are raked into wide whisking seas.' What beautiful words to describe crunching leaves....and raking them into whisking seas.' I have to fave this one! Best wishes with the contest Take care, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
