Oh wow....Your creative way with this season ...bringing winter to summer is just excellent!

Whenever you talk about your country.. your mother.. and April, the poem would be a masterpiece. Just like this one!

Even if for once, I will allow
time to
give birth to apples.

^ I can think and ponder: why apples? I love this metaphor. Apples are red and sweet, or maybe you are taking the Adam apple, the one that represents the taboo infringing?

I will
carry April
to the autopsy room and find out
why I could never stand her,

^ Now, we're heading to the April part. So in april, apples become sweeter. Yet here, I guess not.

I will write in my report
the reason behind her death and I promise
I won't lie. I will hand her wrinkled flesh,
with primulas rotten upon it and the
scent of Jasmines; frozen, over
to her family and solace them, saying

she was a good season.

Even if for once, I won't cling
to Winter.

^ Who am I kidding? lol :p I cannot dissect your poem because I would be belittling it, honestly. That is it is enough for me to dumbly say: AWESOME, NOMINATED, next week ;)

Sorry; wrong post lol

I know April is a sad time for you Noura, but your words always speak of strength even in the darker lines of your poetry.

This, I felt really summed out the dying seasons, and just your words were beautifully calm...although much sadness was behind them

Love xx

Wow, so chillingly creative and very, very well-written.

"carry April
to the autopsy room and find out
why I could never stand her,
I will write in my report
the reason behind her death and I promise
I won't lie."
This is almost incantatory, with dark hints of imperative wording. This poem reeks of creativity!

As they all said Wow !
I kept reading it over and over again, a true creative masterpiece !
fabulous work !

Gees!!!!! Im loving that people in our club or so freaking talented. You took a sad story, something that hurts your heart, and can turn it into a beautiful heart wrenching poem...

Seriously. very creative lines when talking about an autopsy. I just loved that part! Very well done hun and sorry about your loss.

Woah!
This poem moved me. I am deeply saddened by the words especially with the title as well. The whole idea of obituary's and autopsy rooms.

I don't know if I could ever go to a morgue and have to identify a family member. I think it would tear my heart to pieces, like this poem.

Your poem reminds me of the people that have passed away. It is amazing how much thoughts can come into your head from a small poem. The words, are moving and completely heartbreaking.

An awesome write of course but one that has touched me dearly.

Wow great poem!
it gave me chills to read this :]
5/5

loved it!

I loved the contrast between the simple title and the profound poem. The repetition of "even if for once" was great because it emphasized the message. Your poem had me questioning if April was a person or if the month is just a bad time for you therefore you personified it with death. Either way, it was brilliant! You packed so much emotion in such a short piece, but I wasn't left hungry at the end...which is good! Very satisfying poem to read even though it culminated in a mysterious way. I loved the imagery of jasmines and wrinkled flesh because they are so different from one another. Jasmine represents a young spirit for me while wrinkled flesh shows age. This was just brilliant, can't say anything more than that.
