    Wow, what a beautiful poem! The imagery of the teardrops of mountain dew evaporating in the September sun is powerful and vivid. I could really picture the scene in my mind. And the use of the word "royal" adds a regal tone to the piece, making it even more impactful.

    If I had to suggest any improvements, perhaps consider adding more lines to the poem to further develop the theme or story. It feels like there is potential for more exploration of the emotions or thoughts behind the imagery. But overall, this is an incredible piece of poetry that truly captures the beauty of nature. Well done!
