Seasons

-
Spring bursts forth in glowing verdure,
The embodiment of a soul both playful and calm.
Grass and flower and tree uninjured
Weave with the wind a youthful tale of yore.



Summer pioneers its wild and steadfast freedom;
The sun is king and holds full sway.
The joy of many, the burden of some--
These are months 
wherein totality  comes.


Fall arrives, in stately anticipation. 
Color erupts, a fire of gold and red.
The air hurries you gladly to a joyful occasion,
To celebrate this cozy, friendly season.


Winter comes next, the oldest of seasons.
And though many bemoan its venerable snows,
There is eloquence in a hushed word unspoken,
And there is grace in a soul by pain unbroken.



Seasons pass, billowed and furled--
Joys come, sorrows go--
And though wars rage, and mountains into seas be hurled,
Still "God's in His Heaven; all's right with the world."

    What a beautiful poem! And the pictures go so well with the theme. I've always dabbled in poetry, but nothing like that. :)

    This was very pretty, Olivia! You have such a talent for poetry! I especially like the last stanza-and your use of the Anne quote!

    I'm always late to the party, hehe. :-P I just had to add my two bits and say I loved it! I truly wondered at first if you were quoting it. :-) I'm glad you are posting your poems! And also, that last line fit so wonderfully, I loved how you used the Anne Shirley quote. *dreamy sigh* Oh, and those pictures are so beautiful!

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
