To Come With The End of Spring

To Come With The End of Spring

A Poem by Bear
"

Oh, just my interpretation of the fallen leaves of autumn.

"

Flames are all that is left,

                 the rest are ashes

                              in their fire.

         Soon all that will remain - - -

                the cold embers of the spring.

I don't get a sense of mourning here (or with Autumn in general). I sense the rebirth of the next Spring in the ashes of the last - I've written a sonnet in my Sensual Septet about it. Something about plants budding in rebirth but poor old humanity's had it - just one turn. I suppose it is all in how you look at things. Leaves - die - fire - ash - potash - compost - roots - feed - new growth - and WOW!!! It's Spring again. I like this poem but I feel that the wording needs to be tidied up a bit. I think it is the use of 'are' in line 2. The verb I feel applies to 'the rest' (not flames) which is a singular. Seasonal change is a very profound thing and I always rejoice to see it as a subject,

capturing season in essence, the imagery creates a beautiful scene, that plays out
with passionate effect in heart, I love the word choices you use to accentuate
the meaning, as well as the descriptive nature of the creativeness.
