… The sunshine weak,
light-hours brief,
few plants in leaf,
’til seeds awake …
… the seeds awake
when light grows stronger,
remains for longer,
buds swell and break …
… buds swell and break,
green grows, and flowers
of many colours
cased seedlings make …
… cased seedlings make
to safely hold
new life through cold
of sunshine weak …

I love how you connect one
I love how you connect one stanza with another in this poem Rhiannon. The beauty of each step of growth is such a miracle and it shows in your poem.
Very much enjoyed reading.
Jenny.

I too love the arrangement
I too love the arrangement Rhiannon, it really works and of course the theme is perfect for February, the soil warming and those seeds about to burst unseen with so much in store.

that's so clever! It reads
that's so clever! It reads like waves coming in, each one higher than the last, or a time lapse film. I love how the last line in each verse links to each next like cogs fitting perfectly, it emphasises how everything works perfectly one stage through to the next, and then back to the sunlight in a circle. Gives a of a sense of rightness

Congratulations on your
Congratulations on your Golden cherries, Rhiannon. Connecting the poem's stanzas was a clear device to make use of the prompt.
