Birthing:
the cycle of
greening the world anew
that tells of the promise of life.
Springtime.
Vigour;
that part of us
spent striving to achieve
A place in the order of life.
Summer
Slowing;
so now begins
the journey winding down,
recounting endeavours of life.
Autumn
Dying;
summing up life.
Perennials of faith,
annuals of doubt now rewarded.
Winter.

I love form poetry, cinquans and pantoums are some of my favorites. What a delight! I was worried I'd not have the chance to read many form pieces in this contest. The wheel of the year and its seasons played out so lovingly elegant. It was beautiful. Many thanks.

I haven't quite gotten the form of haiku down yet.
But reading this cinquain quad made me smile.
They way you worked each season is wonderful.
I truly enjoyed the read. -
While this is a poem on the seasons, beneath the surface, it is about the course of our life, from beginning to end. It is religious and about nature at the same time.

Good job!
I think you have done a great job with this write. I loved how it seems like you tried to write something deep about the seasons but yet it seems like you didn't have to try at all. I loved it. I think this was a really good write. Good job!
