Topic: Spring (as in the season) (11/28/05)
Different seasons come and go
Spring is one I adore
The old dies
The new is born
Flowers blossom a sign of summer
A sign of harvest to come
Variety of colour and beauty
Seeds that are planted
Grow and become fruits of joy
Fruits are implanted forever
Every year, same time
It grows bigger and better
A perfect design from the Creator


Spring is a time for renewing
Cleansing mind, body and soul
Let the spirit grow
Like the fruits of spring
Like Jesus who came
Lived and died for us to be set free
Free from the bondages of the rotten roots
Born again spiritually, inherit Christ’s seed
A gift from our Heavenly Father
Immortality in the heavens


Spring is time to stop and think
Which road am I on?
Have I strayed or am I on my right way?
To reach God’s house
He is waiting for us to come home
If I am ever lost and have taken a wrong turn
He is more than able to shine his light
And guide me to my right path
Apart from the physical season
Spring comes in everyone’s life
Though at different times
There is a season and a time
Be open to recognize
If spring has come upon your life
Right now is a time of restoring
The planting for the harvest yet to come

Nice use of fruit, harvest, renewal ideas. Personalized seasons was a good point as well. Not sure about the form, but it seemed to work.

This reads more like prose than poetry; try putting it in paragraphs and see if it flows.

Good thoughts on spring; thanks for writing!

The last stanza especially spoke to me, the time of restoring, recognizing if I have left the path. In agreement with Jan and Nina, this seems more like prose than poetry. Keep writing!
