Come on my heart it's time to bloom
it's time to stir your buds alive
for spring is here, wipe out the gloom
where everything's a busy hive.
That summer's here, it's never late
come on my heart it's time to bloom.
It's never late to celebrate
and stroll across the peaceful flume.
When summer's gone, there is still room
for you and I are still entwined.
Come on my heart it's time to bloom
so leave those frowns somewhere behind
Should winter come with its cold touch
the sun is shy, no beams to loom
we still can warm with love and such
come on my heart, it's time to bloom.

Thank you as always
dear Judy. I hadn't had my morning coffee yet when I posted.
I doubled checked...and yet... oh these excuses...:)
Dang!
MM beat me to it about the syllables lol. I'm not sure if you are addressing yourself or your beloved in S-2, L-2. If your beloved it might be best to put comma before and after "my heart". Best of luck in contest........stan
How about
leaving it opened since it has many interpretations, or/and could be read in different ways?
Appreciate the thought yet and the suggestion Stan. Let me think :)
You know me
I just throw out seeds and let others determine if they're worthy of sprouting lol.
and I appreciate them
all Stan.

A beautiful write, I know Jess doesn't like the use of the word beautiful, but in this case it stands.
I suppose I will have to yield to the ladies of Neopoet again lol.
Take care and keep up with this quality of writing,
Yours as always, Ian..
Tiny thing:- Should winter come with its (cold) touch
Take out the cold, all other lines to me are perfect at 8 syllables..???
Thank you Ian
sorry for the belated reply.
Reallly appreciate the nice comment
That line you've pointed out is also 8 syllables, I believe. :)
Have a nice day.
Rula
Some of the syllable counters give "Touch" as being two syllables, but I guess it can be one of those words where the emphasise can be either, for two or one.
"Stet" is the word for your line lol "then let it stand.."
Have a lovely day out there,
Yours as always Ian..
Rula
it's 7 in the morning here - the dawn chorus is in full flow - and I've just read your poem! A beautiful start to the day. :)
Love Mand xxxx
I wouldn't have
asked for more dear Mand. I am so happy you liked this dear.
Thanks for your kind visit.
Rula
I venture to make a couple of suggestions:0
If the poem ts about the same heart, the title should read Evergreen Heart rather than the plural Hearts
In verse 2 of S1 would "stir: be a better option than "bring"...I feel the word stir has a motion of its own than bring..
Regards,
thank you raj
as for heart(s), I believe both work fine. Heart as talking about "that same one heart", and
"hearts" works as well as to make a generalization of all those that are the same.
but for stir, I think I like it though again bring and many other words work perfectly there, but I'll change as I think it's a word that I rarely used, if ever. :)
Appreciate your time, and the suggestions.
Rula
they were just suggestions...appreciate your explanation.which makes sense...
keep creating such stirring verses blooming into a poem.....
Regards,
It's made me forget the first one.
It's beautiful Rula.
thank you sir

Salam, Rula
lovely. I loved the flow. Kudos
