After the 21st winter

for a year that starts anew

After 21th winter

Through her eyes, that had shed rivers,

pain and flesh became intertwined.

Now, her heart bursts and shivers,

for a fate it has been assigned.

 

Now, time has elapsed

and the rivers have dried out.

The heaviness in her heart collapsed,

so there is nothing to stir about.

 

A year where sun and clouds never meet;

it is the heart of a sky that never glooms.

Once more the pulses of hope beat

and a thornless red rose blooms.

Excellent stanzas. I like the short, straight to the point feel of this. But I almost feel that it need some explanation as to what it was that changed and made the rivers dry and the heaviness collapse. That might just be me, though... I do tend to be long winded. Asss made evident by this. Heh. Anyway.

I really do enjoy the rhyme and flow of this piece, though. It's very well balanced with each line and word. Great job. :]

I love this. Very well written and powerful. Your poem has a sad aura and I could feel it while I was reading it. Awesome. ^___^

[Tainted Devotion]

This is a very beautifully written poem. Love the meaning in the poem. Love the start of something new indeed. It holds a personal meaning to me as well, so this was brilliantly done. Wonderful job.

This was so greatly written and it was beautiful :)

I love the poem to no end.

[Cristal Bridges]

This is nicely written. Your words are beautiful and expressive. I love that even though it's a short poem it evokes so much. It's much like a flower. At the beginning it speaks like a dead, broken, and crushed flower and as it goes towards the end it's much like a phoenix rising from the ashese reborn. Very nice. :)
