I love this idea of nature being dead and resurrected through Spring- it truly is the cycle of growth in us as well and the way you portrayed it was vivid. I do believe nature knows truths about life that we simply don't. Thanks for sharing my appreciation with nature in this piece.
I especially like the third stanza. Growth is so painful yet so important. What we do matters and our suffering is not in vain. Again, all of this is literally the story of the Gospel so that what it reminds me of- we were dead in our sins until Jesus allowed for us to be born again through His spirit. Ephesians 2:1-10 is all about this concept. Rebirth is painful and the fruits of it are love. I also appreciate the title and repetition of Blossom and Bloom. I didn't know the difference of these two concepts until I looked them up, and it's very fitting for the purpose of this piece, so I like that detail too.
This reminds me of the book Ecclesiastes. Everything we see will perish and is essentially meaningless; it's what we do with what we see that channels meaning. The idea of anchoring all these aspects with the same phrase "like everything under the sun" reminds us of how we're all connected in this way. It's an interesting style because there's a hint of dread and hope at the same time. Cool concept.
The point of art is to cause controversy by bringing an issue to light- whether it be an internal conflict, a political issue, a human rights issue or anything else. Thank you for utilizing art in its purposed form.
You often incorporate a sort of song style with background singers through parenthesis, it's almost a traditional trait of yours so I appreciate that was put in here again. I like how you personified Time and Nature as well as the lines "fragile life turned broken glass." This poem is a story with beautiful structure and perspective that catches your gut and makes you think. Thanks, again, for sharing a piece of your mind with us.
Dang! This was short but good! Me and my best friend was reading this together and was like, That’s the end?! But it’s all fine, this story was good and kind of creep! Keep up the work of writing!
This was so good and ended with a good twist! I knew something was up with that bunny! Keep up the work, I love the horror stories you create.
