So sad yet so beautiful. Great write dear. This one is just mindblowing stanza

Blinding eyes against sunlight
Deaf to birds enchanted songs
April rains have lost meaning
Finding it hard staying strong

Not having a loved with you during the changing of the seasons can take away the beauty of it. Well done.

I love how different your piece was. I think a lot of people see spring as something mew and refreshing but you took it from a different angle and I liked that. Loved the flow of the entire piece and how well your owrds fell into place. Very nice work :) Nik

Excellent job with the contest piece and you have a vivid picture here and a very beautiful poem. I loved how like Nik said you took this poem from a different angle. Good job and keep writing.

This is so sad indeed, yet beautiful like everyone else has already mentioned. You did a flawless job, I really loved each stanza, line, word. Very nicely done :] *hugs*

One word: Beautiful!

Beautifull sad....especially the last evrse

"Need love once more to waken
Nature's beauty all around
Filling souls again with warmth
Melting coldness that surrounds"

^Hope springs eternal! Good job once again!

Cindy, this is a sad but beautiful rendition of the changing of seasons.It is however sadder to know that a special person no longer here to witness this change, but deep in your heart you know that he is watching and experiencing the same feeling as you do.
I enjoyed every stanza of this wonderful write.Good job.
Paul...

Wonderful writing Cindy - I would have written "Eyes blinded by sunlight" - or "Blinded eyes from the sun"

Cindy I truly think this is one of your best writes to date that I have read. The imagery you created is heart stopping - touching- and the word choice perfect.

It reaches in the readers heart and tugs. And though I can't relate to the pain of losing someone so dear to my heart, I can relate to the sadness and feeling of " losing the beauty of nature"

Very touching write Cindy ... and definitely one of my favorites by you.

Congrats on the front page win ... very very deserving indeed !

Congrats on the win this week!

Cindy,

I've been too slow getting 'round to commenting this poem and for that I apologise. I have read it three times now and finally have some time to myself to get some commenting done. I'd like to thank you for the supportive comments you leave upon my poems, they are muchly appreciated.

I adored the imagery of this poem and it truely brought me to spring Here we are in winter so it was lovely to have a fast forward, only with a different contrast, a different view from someone elses eyes.. however while reading I was etched with a painful feeling, and while I cannot comprehend your loss as I have never faced something like this, i felt the emotion behind your words and that is what grasped me with this poem.

This was just one of those poems that was bitter sweet, the sadness and the beauty combined together like a subtle contrast.

I think you did a wonderful job. Congrats on the weekly win.

Spring does bring out various emotions..and this
is one of them..a lost love. I liked the imagery you painted with your words..good write! Congrats on the win & sorry for the delay...take care.

With spring comes cruel sorrow
That you're no longer here
Darkness now entombs me
My thoughts painfully unclear

its my favorite stanza.. the very first line tells the reader that how sad this poem would be.. and than each line goes deep and deep in the world of sorrows where i saw my past people faces for a minute. its was such a nice feelings for me that i felt. once again you brought me in that world where i saw my love.

excellent 5/5

Damn.... this poem touch me truly a beautiful poem i can relate to this feeling 5/5

Wow! This poem is so beautifully written and I really love it... It's no wonder that you won, congratulations! You deserve it :) I love relating emotions to nature, and you've done that in a very calming way. My favorite stanza was the last:

Need love once more to waken
Nature's beauty all around
Filling souls again with warmth
Melting coldness that surrounds

Beautiful words! Great job!

Very heartbreaking poem, the level of despair so deeply expressed that anyone reading this can't help but be moved and feel what you're going through. The advent of spring cruelly indifferent your sadness. All of this so powerfully expressed. A beautiful poem.

I really loved this poem. I think it flowed really well. good write ^_^

This was sooo beautiful...and simple yet full of meaning...great write *_*
