Autumn is here!
This contest is pretty simple...
Just write a poem inspired by the autumn season.
Nature poems are great, memories...whatever;
as long as it has to do with autumn.
EXCEPET NO HALLOWEEN POEMS!
(we have other contests for those)
Here's the catch...
It has to be a short poem.
Ten lines or UNDER.
Pre-writes are allowed.
Enter as much as you wish.
Best of luck to everyone.
