Summer fruits.

Planted in autumn

I watched this seed

grow and nestle

in for winter,

spring saw you

sprout from that pot

becoming larger than life.

Rewards came

after the pain

of you dropping

into this world...

and like the

season of summer

we bare the fruits

of our labour.

lets allow these

fruits to ripen further

so we can relish

in it's sweetness

beneath the

skies of joy.

This is a great poem, I like the flow and rhythm. It is a great use of the seasons compared to a baby being born. I really like how you used these to connect life and nature.
