Revive

1.  Always aspiring to authentic answers
2.  Belief begins, only to end
3.  Calls the crow, 'never, to'
4.  Drifting like October leaves
5.  Falling upwards, death is alive
6.  Gargling, bleating, cawing birth
7.  Haul the young into the hall
8.  Jaded cribs reluctantly nurse
9.  Lemon-sour hope gently sweetened
10. May's pastel caress heals yesterday's recall
11. Once, seasons ... now regrown faith
12. Promises to breach, ideas to rebuild
13. Returning the world not unreal, the
14. White Witch of Amherst guiding through
15. Young hearts revive again.

Wow! I don't know what 3/4 of those "poetry devices" are but I can imagine it wasn't easy to come up with. Very well done my friend!!....80)

I actually had to look up the definitions to those terms before I could even use them, good learning experience, though-
