Life In the Eyes Of a Godless Man

Published October 13, 2010

In Poetry

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 really liked it! I think it should be a bit longer though. I liked the part about the shriveling up. I hope this will help.

I really liked this poem. My favorite part was the last line. I like the way you phrased it.

i like how it has a joyful tone and then turns very sad but i can't really see how love can come from this i can see lust hidden in it thought, i really like the sweetness drifting through it and then the dowry bloom that makes it hit sadness but this is all good it keeps the reader interested even though it is very shirt but it doesn't really matter about size this is good so keep up with it because i would like to see more!

I enjoyed it but it was very brief, which worked to some degree but it would be good if you but even just a little more. i appreciated your use of metaphor, how you did not just go out and say something really literal, but still made your point.
though it is pretty short i still saw that you had a lot of talent, good job!

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! =]

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,

~Rain~

Definitely simple, but love can be simple, and simple can be magic.
I love it.

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


Thank you so much, Emilie!

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.

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