Seasons

Fall leaves litter the ground,

They crumble under my feet,

The Winter frost is setting in,

And not a bird will tweet,


How I miss the summer fun,

All the time playing in the grass,

While I would bathe in the sun,

And water would drip off of my glass,


In the Spring,

when flowers bloom,

to it I try to cling,

for it destroys all gloom,


All the seasons,

Good and Bad,

I like them all,

They make me glad,

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I remember writing this. It was a few years back, this was the first poem I ever wrote. :) It didn't bring all good memories though, it brought some bad ones too. I remember I had my friend read it, expecting her to be proud of me. All she did was throw it back in my face though, calling it stupid and pointless. I was afraid to show anyone else the poem so I hid it in my room. I didn't write for a long time, about two years. Finally, my teacher told us to write a poem fo language class. When I wrote, I realized how much I still loved poetry and learned that I shouldn't care what other people thought. I realize it's a little childish but I was younger when I wrote it. I'm so glad I can show people my poems without fear of negative criticism now. Laughing

Dear Little friend,   Never

Dear Little friend,   Never fear what other people think about your poems,  this too was one glorious poem,  When I was 11, I wrote my first poem and continued writing, though my mother told me i was just wasting paper, and threw them all away as fast as I could write them, I finally hid them all and as of  now I have written more than 5 000.  a few I have placed on here , most are long and tell stories, some are short and silly. Think of this as God's gift to you and just keep writing on and on.  this is a great site and every one is kind.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

    Your poem describes well

 

 

Your poem describes well the Seasons of the year. Shame about your friend throwing the poem back at you. After all if your going to critises in life make it constructive critisism, at least it points where you've gone wrong and some options on how to correct it. I liked your poem of seasons very much. Enjoyed reading your poem  and liked your rhyming ability.
