Greetings from

This one showed up on Random Reads, and I'm so glad it did!

The title, brief description, cover picture and genres work for your poem. The verse structure and words chosen give a great rhythm and feeling. I also love the large, bold font, being myopic.

I absolutely love the message this poem gives. And though you wrote it in 2018, it's so relevant for today's circumstances. There are phases of growth and of rest and each contributes to the overall purpose. The comparison of a writer's work to the changing seasons is really well done. A couple of times, the turn of phrase you used brought on a chuckle! And thanks for given no-longer-young people their due -- that they have gained wisdom that can be shared.

I didn't quite understand this line - Their clothing gardens plant

I also thought I'd like one more verse at the end, to sort of sum things up. Maybe repeat one of the earlier verses as a 'refrain' ... ? It sort of ended abruptly for me.

Lovely, lovey poem! *Inlove2*

Write On!
