This 4x5 poem, Bloom, has the proper formatting and suggests the pressure of love will perform a revelation of heartfelt appreciation in the future. ...................

I liked your use of "old" language here. Your message about love being like a flower was lovely. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you very much! Everyone else seems to think I've made spelling errors by using the archaic Skakespearean versions of words. I appreciate your review.

I love the different analogies of the heart, as different metaphors, but the heart is different expressions, but yet can be also be an expression of a belief of nothing in particular, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : tightly (prest) pressed? (Clos'd) closed?

Using the archaic Shakespearean language of the old English theater. Thanks for your review.

Hi, gansach. I hope you are well

This is a beautiful poem. It equates your heart with a flower. That flower may not open up in spring. It may only open up after you meet the right significant other I hope that happens for you soon. If this is you in the poem, maybe whoever it is is fictitious.

I'm curious why you wrote prest for pressed. They both sound the same but only one is a word. Guess which one. I would just use pressed

I have the same question about clos'd. Why not just say closed. Sounds the same and is actually a word.

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for your review and comments. When I wrote this, many years ago, I felt it had an Olde English feel to it so I went with the Shakespearean spellings. He often used "t" or an apostophe in place of the "e" in words ending in "ed" since those were pronounced as two syllables--close-ed, press-ed--in the English theater. In American English, those archaic spellings became obsolete, but may still be used in poetic writings.

Ok.
That?s fine. Thank you for the explanation
