A Transition Poem by Floyd Zimmerman

an elegantly written love poem with so much emotion seeping out of it i can feel your affections. a wonderful creative poem and the last two lines are absolutely beautiful. Jen

Hi Floyd - this poem is a challenge to us all. We are all on a growth curve from the cradle to the grave - some cope better than others. We feel hemmed in as in a 'cell' a 'tomb' a 'womb' imprisoned - dead - unborn! Verse two is more optimistic - planted - healed - watered - growing - built up - flowering - blooming - willing to learn. Life can be confusing there are walls around our souls which can be torn down by love - by life - by liberty. It often takes another individual - someone who has passion and fire to lift us up on to higher ground. A challenging poem - thanks for sharing - MAX!

a beautiful transition dear Floyd just like the beauty of each flower! Planted-> Watered-> Flowering ============> a beautiful life cycle keep being a flowering FLOWER never be a wilting FLOWER the burn of your Passion FLOWER is a source of your power 10 for the life cycle

Fine writing, great sensitivity, interesting subject matter. Very much I like it. It is worthwhile to read. (10 v.) Greetings. Maria Barbara Korynt

Beautiful on the stages of life.

passionately brilliant! ....break down the walls it the only way you can love.....like the way it flows....changing by each step......beautiful! 10++

i like how you went through the stages, beautifully written, i love this piece. good job.

A nice transition, and another interesting use of assonance, with the one different rhyme at the beginning.
