A very clever poem, carefully blended that tugs at the senses of the reader. I particularly liked the words:
[you are] the tease of time's cryptic temper
a wonderful image. kay

wow this was great - i love how you compared yourself to the fall and your love to the winter... coming together in the spring... for a new summer...

one suggestion: maybe try the black background and a whitish font? just a thought ;)


thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest
shelley :)

At first, I wondered if this was about two different people and the differences of their personalities. But it does also fit your description about those transitional times between seasons which are neither one nor the other. My favorite line was "We are wakers and sleepers of the in-between."

Your poetic use of words arranged to form dynamic images makes your free form poetry flow as easily as rhymed verses. I especially like your use of I, You, and We. "We are the bridge of blended suns rising." Beautiful. Best wishes in the contest.

I love the transition of the seasons. Living in North Georgia, we are fortunate to experience all four seasons. As a young man, I hated the winter. I longed for the coming spring and summer. And, though I loved fall, the thought of the coming winter was always in the back of my mind. Over time that has all changed. I love all of the seasons and have even learned to embrace the beauty of the dead of winter. I have learned that at this stage of life, each new season is a gift. Great work! - J.

Congratulations, Lea, on a beautiful poem about the seasons. If you are interested in correcting a couple of little points in punctuation, here they are:
1) add a hyphen to in-between
2) an apostrophe to time's cryptic temper.
All the best in the contest, Julie L

Great picture which illustrates the text very well! The free verse works well here. You have achieved a lyrical rhythmic quality. You just need to check the apostrophes as in 'winter's'.

This poem is lyrical in nature, rich in imagery. It reads like a hymn to the changing season. Beautiful. If I may suggest you change the background color to something light, for ease on the eyes. It is difficult to read as is, and may cause readers to skip reviewing. Best of luck in the contest.

Plenty analogies for one poem. Well thought out. Clearly written. Many nice visual imageries created. You have many alliterations. These two stood out to me: silent-shriek and silver-scent. I'm thinking melting metals or a December candle in birch or something.

Alright, good work :)
