I only changed two words from the original draft, which I spontaneously wrote. I was quite shocked at how these words just came out. It's very simple though.

The artless leaf blooms in jade Spring
Grows innocently through Summer's days
But shrivels up when Autumn sings
Till in Winter's snow, it fades--away

I like the shortness of this, I feel like it helps with the imagery and the whole concept of the poem.

I like the simplicity, but describing spring as green and winter as snowy seems a little cleshe. I really do like it though. Maybe if you thought of a few different synonyms? Also, some punctuation might be nice.

wow, this was beautiful.
Even though the poem was quite short you managed to get your point across to the reader.
I Love a poem that has been written about seasons.
Unlike most poems i have seen around you managed to include all seasons of the year, and write something fantastic about each one.

Well done

I just have one thing to say: this is brilliant. It's beautiful, emotive and emotional.
Definitely simple, but love can be simple, and simple can be magic.
I love it.

Ghosts always float through your mind; but they stay longer than necessary. Like my thoughts.

Hello!!

Well, I really like this. I think the best thing you can do though is make it longer. Two or three stanza's more will make this so great.

The artless leaf blooms in jade Spring << So, I think that you could take out "the" and just change "leaf" to "leaves"... I think it might sound better. But that is just me...
Grows innocently through Summer's days
But shrivels up when Autumn sings
Till in Winter's snow, it fades--away << When I read this, it made me pause, whith takes away from the poem, I think you should omit this...


The first comment is just a suggestion, only change if you agree. Poetry is what the writer feels, what the writer trys to portray to the readers.

The second I think you should really consider...

Hope this helped,

That was really good. It was sort of applying the human race to the seasons of leaves. Well, that's how I saw it anyway. Really good though. Keep doing spontaneous writing, it's good! =]

That was a really good poem. I normally don't care for really short poems but I really liked this. It short, sweet, and to the point. You did a great job :) Keep writing. You rock! :)

I fear no darkness, for my soul is entrapped behind its ruthless instants. The melody of sorrow has made the universe rotate without me.
