Season of Imagination

With JE Falcon. A collaborative Choka

When Winter thaws streams
Water falls into a spring
Filling Summer dreams

Summer dreams will find
Us riding upon that wave
Imagination

Finding Fall lucid
We rode the tidal changes
Surfing ideas

And writing poems
Until the Summer's slumber
And Winter found us

Springing into life
A season of love growing
Comes around again

2022
William Michael Reeves and JE Falcon

Author's Note

The Winged One answered one of my Haiku which begins this, with Haiku which I answered then JE answered and I closed by completing the cycle of seasons. Spontaneous creativity!

Reviews

[Robert Trakofler]

You are a well-seasoned poet... sorry (i can't help myself sometimes) I think I am now so impressed by the seasons and the changes and emotions they stir I can almost feel them at will... each stirs me in a different way and yet I know they will bend their wills upon me at their meridian leaving my only course but to embrace each one for who they are but at times as it is now with winters final gasp gnawing it my toes I have to slip into a little spring and remember that the thaw is coming.

[William Michael Reeves]

Well, if you are going to wax poetic I am going to turn your review into a haiku....

Seasons change impressed
Embraced at meridian
Gnawing Winter gasps

Thank you Robert. I'm sure the Winged One would too.

what a wonderful write, enjoyed this

[Vertigo Cat1111]

I loved the theme of seasons so much here, it works beautifully altogether. It’s very vivid, bright. The title, ‘Season Of Imagination’ works wonderfully too. It’s bright, dark, cold and warm, it reaches out to every inch that it should, covers all the seasons. It’s the perfect time of year for this poem too, when it’s still cold but soon things will be/may already be growing, giving out so much nostalgic and beauty and inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing.

[William Michael Reeves]

Thanks. Sometimes a title can enhance the poem. I felt like this did. Glad you saw that. Let me know if you want to do one. Or a Renga. I've got lots of ideas

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing poem for the seasons William.
"And writing poems
Until the Summer's slumber
And Winter found us"

Those words belong to the Bird of Prey. Inspiring each other is the best part of writerscafe! Collaborations and feedback. Thanks!

Keep going....I can't wait to hear what you think about what I did with your poetry in the next one. I like the way it blends with the two poets around you.

[Betty Hermelee]

Nice mages of seasons, and a vivid imagination; summer flings, but winter is when bodies entwine in front of the fireplace and passion flows endlessly through the long cold, dark days, and into the night. Weather no longer matters.
Best, B

[William Michael Reeves]

Thanks Betty. I like your thought. Weather doesn't matter when we are cozy inside our brains. In fact, I read your thoughts and got downright hot!

[Betty Hermelee]

You’re very welcome!

[M. J. Smith]

To you both this drifter tips his hat. Amazing images. How often I have watched the seasons change. Soon, the geese will return. And the road will call. Then, your words will go with me to the trails. For Nature will be on full display. Beautiful.

[William Michael Reeves]

Thank you. I really like the idea of you reciting a collaborative poem in the great outdoors. Then three poets can howl at the moon together! But please, take your hat off first. Don't want to lose it.

[M. J. Smith]

I rarely howl at the moon. I have too much respect for her. She accepted me when nobody else would.

[William Michael Reeves]

If we have nothing else at least we have heavenly bodies to guide us, light us and circle us....with acceptance.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Very much talent in this creative write!

[Miss Sharon]

Awesome creativity you two! Love it. ~Sharon

[William Michael Reeves]

Thanks. Collaboration can be really inspiring not quite knowing what the other is going to come back with. The anticipation is fun! Wanna try it?

[Miss Sharon]

Hmmmm! Perhaps when my schedule becomes less hectic. (Remind me.) ~Sharon

[Cherrie Palmer]

...And writing poems Until the Summer's slumber And Winter found us...
A very smooth blending

[William Michael Reeves]

Again you write of something I'm writing. A smooth blend...of all the colors of the poets. Getting curious? You'll have to wait.

Thanks. We flew in tandem effortlessly.
