Hi Lea,
I like how you give an image of the beauty of all the seasons leading to the many colored beauty of Summer. You remind us how many shades of green there are to see. You also give a feeling of hope in all seasons.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day,
Joan

This lyrical poem sings from the page. Metaphors make magical images. Vivaldi would swoon through the seasons for your flowing words. Thank you so much for Posting this winning poem!

I love the metaphors you present so creatively for the time between the seasons. Your alliteration is very well done- my favorite: bridge of blended suns rising.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Well done, Lea, this is a great verse in which, as ever, your heart shines through! There is such depth of meaning in your evocative words and the personification and metaphor of the seasons are a delight to read. Though all skilfully done, the last stanza is my favourite. Your whole verse is also very readable (for me) in its structured yet free verse style. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

Comment from jim vecchio
Wow! You are so many things. i just reviewed the poem where you were a hurricane. Loved this , which remindsme of a line from my favorite play, "The Fantasticks":"Who can tell why spring is born of winter's fiery reign.. Or why we must all die a bit before we are born-again?.

As I recently broke my clavicle and 3 ribs I am forced to not move about so I am spending y time reading and posting.
I am drawn to your poetry as I find your use of words so refreshing...so very different...they take me to a different place... if that makes sense.
I am going to fan you so I do not miss anything you write..
And, I am giving you a 6 star...first one I have given....

OK, Lea. This is what I was waiting for. I just got my six stars back in time. This is the best thing I've read by you so far - brilliant control of images, and really creative vocabulary - a genuine original. It is a wonderful poem. Congratulations.

Comment from JSD
I have no sixes left, alas. This is another brilliant piece Lea. Well done. I love the sounds particularly in this one. You just seem to look at each ordinary word and then transform it into something else, like 'clip' instead of 'click' which brings in a whole new idea of time. I want language to surprise and yours always does. x

Thank you that's a very kind compliment! I'm really happy you enjoy all these things that I write. I only put pen to paper 3 months ago and I threw one in just for fun to see what would happen. I never dreamed the result. Thank you again May the force be with you l o l!

Lea, I can only say that while I've been away you have continued to grow and have gotten even better at wordcraft! This poem reads crisp and new...with alliterative touches that enhance it, and such original phrasing I am caught up and find myself going back to the top to read it again!
"You are the promise of menagerie green.
The progenitor of silver scent melt."
Wow. You ought to submit this one for publication consideration!
