Seedy Affairs

I am a seed in the ground waiting for the sun to warm me and to wake me up I feel gentle taps of pluie soaking through the soil nourishing me I start to grow and change I break the surface see the light stretch my tiny leaves Je suis a sprout, a sapling I face the vent and storm they make me strong I reach for the sky green I bear fruits et fleurs give and share I am an arbor, a home I shelter birds and beasts I breathe their air they breathe me back we are one I live long I fade mes feuilles tombent colors change I am un feu, a blaze I light up la forêt I feel le froid creeping in I rest die brown I am a seed in the ground waiting for the sun

Was going to get a complex about the word Fibonacci but looked it up instead - nice! I do like the feel of growth spurts from the layout - lovely :)

Oh my, this is such an enchanting poem about the reveries of a seedling, whilst blending the textures with light hues of French as well.. Wow.. I absolutely loveee the creativity that you've poured here especially "Je suis a sprout, a sapling I face the vent and storm", "I am un feu, a blaze I light up la forêt I feel le froid creeping in, I rest, die brown" Impeccably woven!

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really love the way this one came together. I noticed you also employ Fibonacci in some of your verses - it does tend to give everything a nice balance. Thanks again!
