Autumn
#10
Hi Wonderfullife! Welcome to the site, and I'm glad to see that you've decided to give poetry a chance! It's hard work, but it's worth the effort to learn!

A couple of comments for you.

You love to walk in the forest,
The autumn forest. -- This line just isn't necessary because you could say autumn forest in the first line easily. Maybe construct a different line here with something else to rhyme with forest.
To see the place ablaze
Filled with an autumn haze.
You know this is no show
That soon there will be snow.
And all this will with white be covered -- as others have mentioned, this line reads awkwardly because of the delay of 'be' for the sake of the rhyme. Best to choose another rhyming words or think of another way to phrase.
Just like my old mother’s cupboard,
You love to spend your time a-gazing. -- don't like a-gazing. Nobody speaks that way, so I find it hard to take seriously.
At each one of all the amazing,
Trees in autumn colours blazing
Turning the place into an amazing -- I don't love the double amazing, especially there are so many other things that you could rhyme here.
show that leaves you dazzled
Hearing the birds razzled
Seeing the leaves falling.
Hearing the owl’s calling
You love to see the autumn sun -- wondering who 'you' is
To know the summer heat is done.
To sense the fragrant delight
Of an autumn twilight.
But now the sun is gone -- 'gone' doesn't work well because it's not a perfect rhyme with done, and all of your other rhymes are perfect or exact.
Shimmering stars shine bright
So now goodnight
Dream of autumn delights.
Hope this helps some!

Cheers,

Lizzie
