Your poem offers an idea that pretty nature talk is just "filler" for love poems . . . "same ole, same ole" as we say here. I feel this way about love poems (not my favorites). Sometimes there's a bunch of standard pretty imagery to paint a rosy picture, but in the end (as your last line suggests) there's only one burning thing on a lover's mind. So let's just get to the point -- only one thing puts zest back in his/her world -- one's missing dance partner! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
I like the idea that there are parts of life that still do remain the same (yet different with each season) and the fact there are promises to remember! A rainbow! (Dancing again!) Thank you for this lovely little ray of hope!
This feels like you were looking at a scene alone, that you used to see with someone else. Everything feels the same, yet there is an echo of loss, with hope you will find them again.
A very bittersweet image you paint with your words my friend.
I like the repetition of same. Some may hear anger or shouting in the repeating, but I feel it is said in a flat tone, letting us know that something in the scene isn't quite right, like someone missing, their echo.
Well penned.
