Basically, I want nature poetry, especially about the changing of the seasons and the fact that it's spring now (yay!), but basically anything pagan or about nature.
My last contest got basically no entries and bombed, so please make this worth it. I'll add more points and perhaps trophies as/if I get more entries.
I'm allowing prewrites, but I'd prefer fresh stuff. You can also enter as many times as you want, but make them good!
That's it! Let's do it!

Frost Goddess Weeps
I knew if I look
Seasons change, and so did I
No surprises there.
Ripe green buds shoot from
The sky, so it seems would sing
Summer lullabies
Hazy nights just a
Hammock swaying in the breeze
Lead me to autumn.
Lone forgotten leaf
Broken hearts mend so slowly
Winter draws apace
The frost goddess weeps
Tears of ice-covered chaos
Approach, friendly spring.
They shut the blinds
So that never can we see
A nice day outside.

Beautiful! I love the ideas. . . why isn't this entered as a poem so I can give it a prize?

I think it must be because I'm new to the site and don't know how to properly use it yet. But thank you very much for the comment, I appreciate it =)

Sounds like fun, especially since I just spent a lot of time in some pretty sandstone mountains. I'll see what I can do.
