Autumn is an orange thief,
cloaking sidewalks and the street.
Petty leaf blends with leaf,
as summer sighs in mock defeat.

Short, succinct and very well written. I do not often favour short poems, but this one impresses me. The changing of the seasons is described, however simply, with wit and well woven words. Thank you very much for your entry in this contest and good luck!

Love the rhyme here!
I love autumn, especially the trees and leaves... I used to collect them when I was younger (as long as they didn't get damp) and put them in paint and make leaf paintings... it's fun as they are dead so I'm not being cruel! It's fun! -

Beautiful nature poem. I like the use of 'mock defeat' suggesting that it'll go back to summer the next year but it appears dead.

Exactly what I was going for.
