Hi there! This is a very simple piece but I can tell it has a much deeper meaning than meets the eye :) I liked the use of metaphors found here and also, the way the colours and photo matched up with the story portrayed. Congratulations on creating such a fine poem

looking back on loves I have known, I realize that love never dies, not really. It lingers on even when we wish it to be no more.


I like the way you wrote this because of what it brought back to me

I love your chose of diction, such as fecund. With such rich and elevated word choices, a mood is emitted from the poem that closely parallels to the environment of a farm life.

Quite an astute observation of passing time using the analogy of a blooming garden! Growing gardens signify change and renewal and rebirth of the Earth. This can be emulated in the growing and changing experienced by humanity itself. I love the rich imagery this poem conveys through sentences such as "Bring squashes round as earthen suns". That image envisioned through this sentence really stays with the reader. This poem is solid and consistent throughout as a result of the rhythmic pattern woven through each stanza from beginning to end. The tone of this poem is reminiscent, thoughtful, and reflective. Greatuse of alliteration in windows/waved and gardens/grown. I also like the personification of nature that the writer employs. Well written and constructed to create the most intense emotional impact on the reader in the final stanza making this poem resonate with them strongly.

Nice pacing and metering. I liked several lines:

Brings quiet ash when season's done.
Looking back on loves I've known,
Through antique windows waved by time,

I got stuck on this image:
Blow dandelions through their hair.

Good luck on your writing.

Nostalgic look at the passing of the seasons in the garden is used as an excellent metaphor for life and loves that we have known. Good abcb rhyming scheme. Excellent cadence to your rhythm.

This is a great poem. It brings to mind a vivid picture of the beauty associated with the seasons, and it made me think of my own memories.
