Of Constance And Caprice

What is time, if time neither begins nor ends?

Still...

 

Born in spring.

In summer sprung.

With autumn we fall.

Left to brave the winter cold.

Shivers crawl my spine like ivy.

In a bed of dying leaves.

Burning blaze of noon.

Bid spring return.

 

...Always.

Author's Note

A bit of a step out of my comfort zone. As a general rule, all of my poems follow a similar style and must, MUST rhyme. I wanted to be a bit different, but did it pay off? That, dear reviewers, is for you to decide.

This captures me with the Still..it's like your commanding me to be still and my heart opens and my mind quiets.. Then to read on I feel like a flower blooming knowing that, that season and time will return.. always in hope always in knowing.. I love it..xx

Beautiful...your work is always well thought out.

I really like this, especially since the structure is in the shape of a leaf (unless I'm seeing things) and I really like that it's short and shows the circle of life as if it's something that goes by quickly , it's great =]

I like this...I see the cycles of life here circling around...birth...growth...living...aging...dying. There is beauty in all of it
just as there is in nature. Excellent poem.

I like this. It's short, and not like most of your writing, that's true. But the sensual language and the context of the poem are enticing and alluring. I see a flower, season to season to season, but you never say flower or make any real indication that you're talking about plant life. The poem itself is about time, passing and rotating in a neverending cycle. It's very intriguing, and very well-written. Thank you.
