Written: March 18, 2025 for contest Sponsored by: Rick Parise ***************** A tall tree stands quietly, imparting its tales, dew drops fall like stars in the morning. Flowers develop beautifully before tossing, the sky gradually shifts color, to our avail. Nature's ever-changing splendor is shown, life's passing events are cleanly captured. Solitude fosters heartfelt attraction backward, stillness possesses what time implies on its own. Watching seasons perform in their ballet, dinge is a profuse nostrum nature may spray. Every breath causes life to wither and sway, leaves become gold and then float away.

Hello Sotto, Oh how you touched my soul deeply. I love the imagery of nature's cycle filled with life's fleeting moments. I think your words are beautiful, bittersweet portrait of change and impermanence. Sotto, your artistry in describing seasons as a ballet is simply breathtaking. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Beautiful image and a lovely poem. This Gulmohar-( that's what we call it) in bloom growing on either side of the Highway in many parts of Kerala, India, is an enticing sight. This tree blooms here in the month of May.

Ever changing scenes of seasons remind us of our own seasons, each one beautiful in its own way. Thank you for this poem of Nature, and good luck with the contest.
