Leaves rustle in autumn wind,
walk among oak and sycamore.
Lost in the windmills of my mind,
try hard to close heartache's door.
Fall seems to lack its brilliance,
frost has come too early this year.
Love has become just a dalliance,
heart broken by one I love dear.
Further stroll upon forest path,
shadows cast beneath evergreen.
Struggling to be rid of all wrath,
nature's beauty remains unseen.
In woods deep, tears go unheard,
cries are silent in hands that weep.
Prayer spoken in whispered words,
darkness of night begins to creep.
Will hope be brought forth tomorrow,
can a new dawn bring lasting relief?
Will season change to more sorrow,
as cold winter wind brings grief?

Lovely rhyme, great use of the season and natures beauty for this time. Hope is brought for love to renew itself after a disappointed bout with a broken heart. Ends in quesstioning will the season bring more sorrow, lets the reader think what is next? Good luck with the contest.

This is a real tear jerker
With all of the lovely colors
Mother Nature placed at your door.
Look at the leaves and the beauty when new.
The vivid colors where they have changed
Think again when the will fall.
How everyone hurried as they jumped in.
I wonder if they save some spring when the first come.
You sure can bounce now and have lots of fun.
Those with single digets can have more fun.
You older ones may hit and break your bun.

Sadness
runs though this poem. There are many reasons for being sad, but when noticed in nature, this is truly sad. I notice the integration between human heart and nature's ways, both seems to prevent each other an awakening, as the cause of their sadness prevents this, but also, they, each other. You have a wonderful way to create feeling within the flow of rhyme, and you have used 'softness' of voice and tone to engrain this into your poem. Thank you my friend for such a beautiful write. Be blessed. Frans
