Seeds of beauty to grow into luscious flowers for all of us to enjoy. Mother nature provides regrowth as the flowers drop their seeds for next year.

My favorite theme--kindness and compassion. Eloquently delivered. Fantastic presentation! Love the light.

This loop form is very difficult to do without it sounding forced. Using proper punctuation for enjambment in the first two stanzas would help. Examples:

Scatter seeds of kindness(--)
kindness, watch it grow,
grow in vines of empathy,
empathy in rows.

Rows of sweet compassion,
compassion that grows free(--)
free and wild this garden.
Garden peacefully.


My favorite is the third stanza:

Peacefully, the blossoms fly,
fly wide and joyfully.
Joyfully scatter those tiny seeds.
Seeds of love, sowed randomly.


Fine rhymes and flow overall. Excellent theme and imagery.

The joy is tangible. My mood is uplifted reading this!

Love,
rd

This is a wonderfully, expertly done loop poem. I haven't tried it yet because they often sound contrived or don't make sense, but I love this one. It flows naturally and proclaims such a sweet message of kindness and love.

What a perfect poem for today where there's such a need for compassion and mutual understanding. Great job with this loop poem which shows us the effect of how "seeds of kindness" can grow a fruitful garden and I like how you not only looped the words from line to line and stanza to stanza but you looped the thought of the seeds from the beginning to the end.
