The Evergreen Hearts (March Contest)

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.

nice Quatern where the repeating line doesn't seem forced, the appeal to the heart is very much vivid....you too are a strong contender amongst three so far, ..i see two more ..Judyanne & Ian...yet to read Ian's..

best of luck for the contest..

Rula

You're humbly underestimating yourself Raj... DON'T :)

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

Rula

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 :)

Sparrow

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..???

Rula

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.

Sparrow

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..

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,

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.

R

they were just suggestions...appreciate your explanation.which makes sense...

keep creating such stirring verses blooming into a poem.....

Regards,
