Charlie's Super... Contest ~ March 29, 2025

Seedlings take new root when March winds blow Cracks in sidewalks are where flowers grow Extraordinary places, they bloom Where one crushing foot could mean their doom Doom comes to stems that once stood so tall Bloom, now withered just like leaves in Fall Grow with great strength, and bend in the wind Blow good, it will. Do not be chagrined Spring's wonderful season has arrived

There definitely is, Duke. Charlie's requirements needed some thought to accomplish. I hope I have. Thanks!

We see everything on earth repeat, comeback in one physical form or another...and yet we think ourselves simple vanish entirely, into some supernatural bliss.... Maybe more to learn, more to see? Lovely read, Lin; was enlightening.

Thanks for liking these lines, Joe. Kind of 'everything old is new again.'

You rose well to the challenge Lin, it's been a long time coming, had a mild frost this morning, winter doesn't want to let go. Tom

Still frosty... while it's been in the 70s and very pleasant here. Thanks for your thoughts on this one.

Lin, this is a really good poem.I like this. I can see a subliminal message here. Where a person that is endowed in poverty can seed and blossom under extreme conditions. Be good it will, and not be distressed with what others have.

Lin Lane

Insightful, Connie. It could apply to someone in poverty, or someone who's suffered a setback and finds a way to get back up. Thank you.

brilliantly penned Lin, it is quite a challenge to weave in the words and have the required rhyme scheme but i have some ideas and will work on my poem this afternoon! hugs jan xx

It's definitely the 4 words that were a titch more of a challenge. I'm sure you'll create something perfect, perhaps not a poopy tail... I mean tale. Thanks, Jan.
