I guard the field stand polar across
this garden I see fall's summer
past ready for harvest to
the left shuckled in corn's
ear tendril, wrinkled,
grow darker cold,
snow blossom
rustic
vine.

Hello
I see you have edited after Shelleys review.......I do see your font is not all the same.....and your Flow is still a weeee bit off.....for me ~
I do not believe the Border fits the Autumn Theme at all.....maybe you could have chosen a plain simple orange...ish colour?
Thank you so much for entering and supporting this contest.....your score shall be sent to your Host,

A nice write and attempt at the nonet form. Good imagery, nice flow and tone. Nice depth of feeling.
Vivid descriptives. Nice word choice, alliteration
and assonance. Please check your form. You have 8 lines and a nonet is a 9 lined poem. Also check your
syllable count. Your missing a 4 syllable line and you
have two 3 syllable lines. Thank you for your entry.

An interesting form and write... I think line 8 (snow blossom) should only have 2 syllables - you have 3 but the words are beautiful and full of autumn imagery... Well done and best of luck.
