The poem "Early Fall" effectively uses vivid imagery to depict the transition from summer to fall. The changing colors of the leaves, the lengthening nights, and the cooling air are all well-described. However, the poem could benefit from more varied sentence structure and rhythm to enhance its musicality.

The poem also has a consistent theme, exploring the shift in seasons and the associated changes in activities and atmosphere. However, the final line, "As Fall brings us one step closer to home," could be clarified. It's not immediately clear what is meant by "home" in this context. Is it a literal home, a metaphorical one, or a reference to a specific holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas? Providing more context or elaboration could enhance the poem's overall impact.

The use of common fall symbols, such as pumpkin spice and apple pies, works well to evoke a sense of the season. However, the poem could benefit from incorporating more unique or personal details to distinguish it from other poems about fall. This could also help to engage the reader's interest and create a more memorable impression.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from a more careful examination of its use of clichés. While familiar phrases can sometimes help to convey a particular mood or idea, they can also make a poem feel less original. Consider revising phrases like "the days are getting shorter, and the nights longer" and "break out those sweaters" to create a more unique and fresh perspective on the fall season.

I agree with your title, it feels like Fall has come early this year. That is okay with me as I love the Autumnal season, it is my favorite!

Each verse is new and mildly exciting, engaging the mind in the reader's pleasant memories of the season's colorful sights and aromas. the ending is as rewarding as the beginning. But my favorite lines are these:

The apples are ripe for picking, and the pies are in the oven
The days of Fall are a time of thanks
So break out those sweaters, and enjoy the season
As Fall brings us one step closer to home.

I really enjoy the thoughtful energy you put into your poems. they are a pleasure to read. I have no suggestions at this time.
