But For A Season...

Missing image
deep in natures womb
fertile seed, turned to bloom
emerged into a world of doom
withered and died, much too soon
yet death couldn't hold her in a tomb
for beauty, you see...there was no room
barren, but for a season...her life resumed

    All seven lines rhyming with the same sound and creating a pedestal for your picture to stand on! I like that. You have expressed nature in a loving way with deep metaphors. Interestingly I feel the rhyme sound "oom" tends to add a certain sombre feel to the piece but I like that. I read this slowly and it is a beautiful piece. Thank you so much for your entry...alby

    For everything a time and place. The changing beats in the poem counter point nicely the mono rhyme. The images of dispair prepared for a season of hope. Well done. Love, Tom B.

      thanks for the wonderful comments and applauds, this was a lovely pic, I like rhyme, but usually don't write monorhyme,
      but my muse insisted

      Happy Holidays
      and Blessings
      To you and yours,
      Sincerely,
      Sassy
