Thanks for taking us on a stroll through the land of the in- between. Transitioning from one season to another can be a bit confusing. We were at 85 degrees last week with sudden summer and are now back at 45. Back to winter! I enjoyed this read. Lovely artwork as well.

This is a beautiful poem you have written. You used some very creative imagery to capture the sights and sounds of the seasons. This should be a strong entry for this contest. Good luck. Terry.

Hi Lea,
firstly, love the way this poem takes my mind in two different directions. The personification of seasons and the possibility of the melding your words into a more personal connection... so yes, love the ambiguity that adds an extra depth to this free verse.

I also love the richness of content and language... nothing better than 'The tease of time's cryptic temper'.

When any writing demands the reader to read multiple times, then there is good reason behind this... it's damn good, something containing depth of heart and connection.

A beautifully composed and presented piece of art... all the very best in this free form poetry contest Lea.

With our thoughts we create...
transitional renewal.

Kind regards,
James.

I liked the content in this poem. I went to look up loon grass but didn't find it. Sounds good anyway, though. Time is such a mystery, and how the seasons turn could be explained in so many ways. Is it a quiet change, or something in-between? This free-verse poem gives several possibilities.

Excellent poem entry for the Free Form Poetry Contest. I love the way you use imagery and personification. ..."We are the bridge of blended suns rising. "

The free verse forced flows well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

HI Lea This is really a lovely free verse and very nice alliteration throughout. I always look forward to Summer and the end of the cold icy winter. We are in Autumn at the moments so plenty of autumn flowers bowing to winter's gaze.. Good work

Cheers Chris

I love this style of the rich language, which tends to be stream of consciousness stuff, most of the stuff I write is as if I'm not writing it anyway, this is great writing Lea, well done, blessings Roy
