I love the tone of this, it's one of the aspects of living that we engage in and embrace all of life's experiences, they are the tapestry of life's indelible progression, beautifully written Lea, blessings Roy

Nice job. It was a well flowing prose with vivid description. Albeit somewhat of a workout to decider. It was enjoyable in the effort. Keep writing

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading. My only suggestion is that these old eyes struggled reading the bold font. To me the letters ran together. It may just be me. Good luck with the contest.

Nature has cycles and we seem to anticipate each one with enthusiasm and sometimes fear. Life has its ups and downs and we must remember that wildlife never complain and they just get on with it despite sometimes being beaten down by weather and unexpected events, a poignant write Lea, love Dolly x

    Thank you Dolly once again! Yes, nature sure does have its cycles, earth, life death, that's what this poem was. You can also refer to nature with the cycles as well. It fits in many themes, I think. Thank you again, dolly.Appreciate you, as always have a wonderful evening!

Dear Lea, love the way you've captured the circularity of life in nature! This is so skilful in the succinct form of your 3-6-9 series. In the first stanza, the beauty of creation, following by the force of nature and then the ultimate completion of the cycle with the soul's release. My favourite and most resonating and imagistic stanza is the second, the fight against indeterminable odds to rise strongly above, an achievement I will always credit you with, Lea.
But just to make that connection perfect:)) small edit: (prer)ogative
Take care Debbie xx

Nicely written Lea, you seem to think deeply, and you've summed up life in your three verses. It sounds too close to reality. I hope things are going well with you. I miss you more frequent posts.

I enjoyed reading your beautiful poem. It portrays the circle of life in this world from gestation to the end with all the ups and downs along the way. I like how the three verses represent the three important stages of life's journey. Thank you for sharing.

I think you describe well just how unpredictable life can be and it's ups and downs along the way as well as we travel along our journey. This was what your poem made me think of as I was reading, so please correct me if I'm wrong. I really enjoyed reading your piece, Lea. Good luck in the contest.

Hello Anon,

I am not sure I fully understand the meaning of this piece, and while this is in my ignorance, matters are not helped by a couple of typos that have appear to have crept into your work.

These are easy to put right though -

Lifes provacative grin (life's provocative)
Culminates beautific perfection (I don't think 'beautific' is a word - did you mean 'beatific' perhaps?)

Return of infancy anticipation, the end release. (you need to break this line after 'infancy' to keep with the sequential 3-6-9 presentation)

I wish you well with this piece and your continued writing.

cheers

phill
