Spring set's in -SP2022

As spring does it's thing, half of the globe is repleneshing:

Birds, chirps, sprouting leaves in the wind,
the smell of spring, tingling,
even for some, sneeze set's in.

The beloved sun, gifting us with warm rays,
bringing light to what was a dark place.

The harsh cold wind softens, carrying pollen for seeds,
as it's what nature needs.

Animals and humans the same,
pour out of their dwellings to participate in the game.

The game that is life as our senses begin to thrive.

It is this time when many hearts open up,
to seek their fitting counter part,
less a game, more an art.

As the days grow longer, I can not help to wonder:

Is it the eyes or the heart, the light or the dark,
that keeps us apart?

A great read my friend.

You still have a couple of hours as far as my clock.
This story can compete.

Haha but not in my part of the world, it was 02:28 01.05.2022 when I posted it.

A wise man once said to me:

You can undo many things but never the spoken word.

I treat online discussions as spoken words, I posted it as "4fun" and thus disqualified myself in that second for any competing. And the timing is good, because I do not compete but I also was kind of last to add. So I do not burn any possible ideas or topics for others by posting on topic but not competing

Next time again

That's coming from you then it is like being knighted. Just stalked your profile and saw I have something to read up for breakfast.

With these words I opt out of the internet now and wish you all a good time.

Great, TD! I like the rhythm and the sentiment. It's quite melodic and could make an excellent song, maybe a rock ballad.

As, DTOM posted, I think you posted in time... splitting seconds would be evil.

Wow! That was incredible! You know how I ended up reading this on the third time? You know the musician Macklemore? I kind of like his ...... what to call it.......... escalating angry man rap. I mean, your prose is a good and beautiful thing; I hear it with a punching beat and an escalating rap pounding it out. legendary. Good stuff! Perhaps an oddball 9/8 time signature?

HAHA!!!! We're going to have to put NY time in the contest or something.


Seriously, we usually put in a post saying the contest is closed to new entries.
And use the time of that post.

It's mathematics basically

That's the secret to flow. It's the sentence structure where the 2nd of 3 parts of the sentence interconnect in this case. I have not figured out a clear formulation but the sentence rewrites itself as I search for rhymes in my head.

When you wrote Macklemore... I see what you mean. I know that Thrift Shop song and was in the car with a friend when it first ran. Yes exactly that recipe he uses but I can not formulate it in words. When it ran the first seconds friend and I exchanged looks, turned up the dial and had a blast, even though it's English and we have to think about what we hear.

I think that Macklemore had this huge success because the pattern of rhymes, swinging of the voice, breaks, it all follows a very distinct, unique but easy likeable pattern

Mathematical rhyming and syntax timing.

Thanks for your submission.

Good Luck in the Contest,
