This is nicely put. It tells a fundemental truth...that everything and everyone has to leave at some point to make room for the new. I love your chosen image, it's lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Sanku: I am impressed with the 'metaphoric' rotation of the earth through
a twenty four hour period:
"The day has to die
for a new dawn to be born" (B's allits)

The four seasons implied in line #4 with activities of Fall center stage: "...ageing leaves forsake their trees" (T's allits)

Last line advises that humanity needs to get in step w/'mother nature' for synergy...Picture indicates the cleansing of old/dead bush through burning to make way for fresh earth growth. Good luck in the contest.

Beautiful Jisei poem for this Japanese Poetry Club entry. You have stated beautifully that the day must die for a new day to dawn. It also has a spiritual feel to this message as well.

Nicely done.
Blessings
Janet

Though I'm not that familiar with the JISEI POEM" format it has the elements painting a mental picture of the elements of life and death . Thank you for Sharing this poetic form

This was so beautifully and sensitively written! Sorry I don't have that extra star. There is a theatrical play I love, called "The Fantasticks". This made me recall a line from the lead character, El Gallo:"There is a curious paradox that no one can explain: who understands the secrets of the reaping of the grain? Who understands why spring is born out of winter's laboring pain, or why we all must die a bit before we grow again?"

    You don't have to worry about that. I fall behind many times. My fingers on the left hand are numb, causing me always to hot wrong keys. It's enough to know you are out there!

An excellent way to connect nature and human nature. An effective way to represent death. Thank you for participating in the Japanese Poetry Club event. Great entry with a good syllable count and connection between lines. Beautiful presentation and imagery.

Good job,

Gypsy

The only way we can reconcile our past is to reconcile it somewhere,,the only place I know is the cross of Christ, He paid the penalty of my past, my present, my future, now I am free to embrace a sinless future, bless you Santha, blessings Roy

Spiritual in nature, all life must end, so new life can be born. Very insightful, easy for everyone to relate to. The picture adds to your beautiful words, but your words paint a picture by themselves.
