Spring Came and Went (REVISED AS PER IANS COMMENT)

I dived into the pool
without a splash of water
then from the highest height
of the diving
spring board

I dived clean
not a drop splattered
none clapped
it was only my self victory

then as summer came
I walked along
the world of poetry
sang a song
no one heard me

in the autumn of my life
I severed off a branch of a tree
just like an autumn’s faded leaf
someone said.
Ah!

then in the winter of my life
as the snow covered the whole of me
they lowered me six feet below
covered with raw snow
then someone said
well now he also has gone

a newer season shall be born
another season gone
he was also one
now truly a bygone

Spring came and went.

This poem speaks all about a life
of one any one
as is in today's world
all are self interested
Springs come

Spring came and went

I dived into the pool.
and without a wave of water
then from the height of the spring board.
I dived clean
not a splash
none clapped
it was only my spring

Then as summer came,
I walked along
the world of poetry
sang a song
no one heard me

In the autumn of my life
I severed off a tree
just like an autumn’s leaf
someone said.
Ah

Then in the winter of my life
as the snow covered me alright
they lowered me six feet below
covered with snow
then one said
well now he has gone

A new spring shall be born
a season gone
he was also one
now a bygone.

The life of a poet can also end in the Spring lol I liked the write reflections of "The seven ages of man"
Sometimes comments here can go against each of our beliefs in our own works but just keep writing and ask any of our poets for assistance if needed.
I have as "Ian T" put two pieces with the A-Z of poetry where I have tried to list as many types of poetry as possible for me to find, this may be of use to you..
Just keep writing,
Yours, Ian
