It’s piled here; then flying there-
there’s gold and copper everywhere!
It swirls and twirls a funnel wreath
and crackles through the air beneath
the pewter backdrop of Earth’s death
choreographed by November’s breath.

And again...as I just said a poem or two ago...you are good at capturing these scenes in an original way.
The leaves around my place all fly from my neighbor's year and pile into my own. Old Mr. Autumn has his favorites apparently!
I like the "pewter backdrop" it definitely catches that time of year, at least here in Maine. It's beautiful..but so cold when the wind blows.

Beautiful
The poem recalls images of many autumn seasons for me, with a paradoxical joy and exuberance. The leaves have fallen, winter is coming, but yet there is a dance in the air and colour everywhere. Your skill with rhyme and meter is evident, this is lovely to read; congratulations for your new trophy!

This is so beautifully written ...
and I loved the conciseness of the lines; the tactile phrasings, the sensoric and descriptiveness of the word usage.
Well done and good luck in the contest.
Love
Myra
