Vernal Bloom

 

 

 

I’m a vernal bloom, the tender daughter of spring.

My fair essence has been woven of pure beauty;

Into the land of eternity I flap my heart’s wings

This freed dove is nourished by glittering purity.

 

I’m that awaited messenger of freshness and vitality;

Of roaring rivers; green nature I bring all glad tidings.

Yes! Spring will come to establish justice and equality

and then for mirth and happiness little canaries sing.

 

The fate of winter days is joined to mortal doom and gloom.

A miracle will be expected if your warm hands take mine!

Into life’s garden, come, my companion, with me to bloom.

Our fragrance may create another spring through these lines!

    Great

    That's fairly amazing writing I think...

    Lines 3 and 4 are particularly cool, and the last line is awesome, tops it off well.

    Reminds me of some of the ancient myths in parts, and it brings a fairly god-like image, along with everything else.

    Picture works well with it.

    Far out it's all so good, I wish I could write like that. Have 3 applauds

    I love this piece, the flow perfectly fits the piece. I would suggest adding a couple of commas into the poem. For instance, in the first stanza I would add a comma after eternity and replace the semi-colon after rivers to a comma as well.

    I really loved this piece. The imagery and warmth that come through your descriptive words is astounding! The image fits well with the piece which just adds even more to the poem. and then for mirth and happiness little canaries sing is such a great line. It really adds alot of emotion to this poem. I can literally feel and smell spring here. Great job and thanks for sharing!

    this poem is deeply written expressing yourself to the reader as you write it. It keeps the reader interested the hole way through, hopeing that they can get to know the person through the poem. My favorite line would have to be "I’m that awaited messenger of freshness and vitality,Of roaring rivers; green nature I bring all glad tidings"

    It gives the reader a since of peace as they read on. great job on this, it really shows your hard work and dedication you have put into this poem.

    Thank you for your contest submission as well as for following the rules. I found this piece tender and warm, the technicalities of it are perfect. I am going to remove this, not because it was not good, but it is not quite what I am looking for, besides, I have read enough of yours to know that the piece, which is lacking a little OOMPH in it, is not quite as good as others of yours, so I hope you will replace it, remembering the 5 limit rule please. Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors. Hetohke'e *

    good ryhme scheme, and wonderful images. brings alot to the readers mind. you paint the picture well with these words, and show alot of talent. I personaly feel that the ryhtm of the poem seems a bit choppy and unrefined, not fitting the message. maybe breakup each line in two and make it a half ryhme. that may work, but it's your choice.

    Good Write and God Bless

    There's either a complex structure that escapes me

    Or the blank verse simply lets the meaning of the words and phrases speak for their selves.

    I'm not sure that maybe there are some clichés: "glad tidings," "mortal doom and gloom," "warm hands," "life's garden," to say the least, that maybe you could describe in other ways. But who am I to say? I'm just an underemployed substitute teacher who can't hardly tell a villanelle from a terza rima.

    You go ahead and write, damn the critics, full speed ahead! I love your zest, the balm of your lyric verse! It sure would be easy to do worse!

    Not much to suggest in correcting the English. Line 2 drop the "the". Let the line read "of pure beauty". With the period at the end of the line you are ending the thought and I wonder if you mean that your essence has been woven "out of" the beauty of spring?? If that is so, then I would make the line read "essence has been woven out of its pure beauty." Line 3,"Into" the land and there is no need of a comma after eternity but put a comma after "wing" and add "while" to the beginning of Line 4 Line 5 the word is "awaited" meaning that something is waited for. Put a comma after vitality and a semi colon in Line 6 after rivers. add "of" to green nature and change "brought" to "bring" . Line 9, put q comma after gloom and a '"but" at the beginning of Line 10 so that the two line read

    "the fate of winter days is jointed to gloom and doom,
    but a miracle will occur if your warm hands take mine.
    Into life's garden, come, my companion, with me to bloom,
    And our fragrance will create another spring through these lines!

    These changes are for English idiom and not anything wrong with your grammar. The changes in the verbs I suggested because you are changing "tenses" from present to past to future. These changes put them in the proper sequence of time. Of course, all of these changes are mine and not your thoughts. I try to read into the poems you write what I think you are trying to say. I may not be successful. This is a lovely poem. It reflects my lovely internet niece. Your poetry is getting better and better every day. You will notice that I have almost nothing to comment on as far as the grammar is concerned, but only in punctuation and idiom. Love, Auntie
