    "Crystalline stream cool and tranquil
    reflect the autumn sun"
    Instead of tranquil in the first line I think you should change it to 'soft'.
    Instead of "reflect" in the second line, "Reflecting".
    Tranquil is a little overused in nature poems, and soft makes the poem seem almost tangiable.
    I like this opening, mainly because I haven't read anything quite like it. I don't think I've read any nature poems when they actually said a stream was 'cool', kudos.

    "that shins through the arms of many tress."
    It shins? As in the lower part of my leg? You mean shinEs. You don't need the "many" in that line.
    And again, I really like this line. It's different, plus the idea of it shineing through the arms of trees is a nice thing to thing about. Good images created.

    "Their leafs of red, orange and yellow"
    *Leaves not leafs.
    "Sway in the fresh crisp breeze."
    These lines are okay, they don't do as much for me as the other ones do, however.

    "The woodland birds sing
    their sweet love songs,"
    You don't need "their" in the second line.

    "as the sun slowly sets
    over the distant horizon."
    This ending is okay but it sort of lets the begining of the poem out. You started so powerful and then it went flat.
    If you want to extend this then perhaps you could talk about the night with fireflys and whatnot.

    Still, I did like this, the begining is splendid.
    5/5

    The imagery in this poem really stands out and the rhyme and flow is beautiful

    that shines through the arms of many tress
    that shines through the arms of many trees?

    Good poem... very tranquil. I could feel the calm energy off of your imagery.
