How Technology has effected our lives
Spring
© Camille Gotera

When the cold, harsh winter has given its last breath,
When the sky above shows life instead of death,
When the claws, reaching to the frozen sky becomes decorated with
Leaves,
When the animals-long in hiding- scurry from trees,
We know winter has ended.

When the frost on grass is replaced with sweet dew,
When the fields become dotted with flowers, reminding me of you,
When the lonely silence becomes filled with melodies,
When you feel warm air, erasing bad memories
We know winter has ended.

When the hard, bare ground becomes painted with green,
When the frost-bitten air becomes fresh and clean,
When the coats and boots are all stored away,
When the playgrounds become occupied again with child's play,
We know winter has ended.

When you hear the pleasant sound of children's laughter,
When the air is filled with joy- long sought after,
When the world is filled with sunlight, brighter and longer,
When the song of Mother Nature becomes stronger and stranger,
Spring has begun.

As wise Oscar Wilde stated “All poetry springs from a genuine feeling” proving that all poems show compassion towards a particular subject but on the other hand the poem Seasons specifically shows feelings, descriptive language and a transition of topics (Ex Spring to fall) towards the subject and every word resembles the theme, (Ex. Warm) which in this case is spring. Since Seasons is a diamante poem is clearly represents the poems theme and concept as well gives a particular mood to the reader, which is fulfilling the purpose of a poem.

Since the poem Seasons is a diamante poem and diamante poems rarely have figurative language unfortunately Seasons does not have any figurative language. However the poem does have diamante poems characteristics, for example the poem is written in the

    For about as long as anyone’s been writing anything, the seasons have stood for the same set of meanings. Maybe it's hard-wired into us that spring has to do with childhood and youth, summer with adulthood and romance and fulfillment and passion, autumn with decline and middle age and tiredness but also harvest, winter with old age and resentment and death.

    Throughout this piece Frost uses the aid of metaphors to convey his message, and these metaphors were comparisons with nature. “Nature’s first green is gold”, now when the thought of nature’s first green comes to mind, it can only be assumed that Frost is talking about spring (1.1). During the winter everything is colorless and dead, so when spring arrives everything blooms and fills with life; everything is beautiful. “Green is the first mark of spring, the assurance of life; yet in fact the first flush of vegetation for the New England birch and the willow is not green but the haze of delicate gold.” (Ferguson). Spring is a time of happiness, love, and joy; truly making it the “golden” time of the year because of the joyous feeling that it gives off. After making this statement Frost adds in the line, “Her hardest hue to hold.”, which contrasts the first line of the poem (1.2). Yes, spring is a glorious time of the year, but it is only one part of the year. Spring fades to summer, summer fades to fall and so on. This is when the point is established that nothing can stand the test of time. “Her early leaf’s a flower;/But only so an hour.”, this further supports Frost’s message by his use of nature as a metaphor; comparing life and all…

    Seasons and time of day can be interpreted in so many different ways throughout a story. Many modernism stories and poem display this to make the reader ponder why they wrote the story the way they did. F. Scott Fitzgerald does a well job done with the symbolic use of seasons and how they relate to the feelings in the story, in his piece Winter Dreams. Universal symbols are used to develop different themes in writer's work.…

    Cycles and seasons are recurrent and prominent themes within Stevens’ poetry: “When Stevens began around 1913 to write the poems that would constitute his modernist canon, he began at once to write poems of autumn, winter, spring, and summer. The presence of the seasons in his poems is so pervasive that few critics fail at least to mention it.” – J. Hillis Miller…

    Perhaps the first notice of spring can be seen in the climate’s temperature rising. Signaling what is known by many as the “spring thaw”, winter’s blanket of snow begins melting as the temperature changes. Along with the rise in temperature the first signs of new life are visible in the budding of the trees and flowers beginning to bloom. Hibernating animals awaken from their winter slumber and start foraging for food and searching for mates. Along with the rise in temperatures, our daylight hours increase and farmers use this extra time to cultivate the land and prepare for the planting of the crops. This is the time of year when the sky opens up with showers and love can be seen blooming all around us.…
