You captured my attention from the first look at the photo
I said wonders will never cease. Your words are so on point.
There is nothing else I can say but thank you for this delightful poem.

I'd like to think that there was some point in time where your poem was reality. Yes, the meek shall inherit the earth But will they? I appreciate your most positive attitude and I wish I had it. This is a very uplifting poem. Best wishes.

You have chosen a perfect picture for the contest!
"prancing forward from under winter's clutch" what a great line!
A wonderful creation for an unusual poetic request.
Good luck in the contest.

Robert, I appreciate your review and validating comments.
Comment from JP Writer
This is an impressive poem, with rich images crammed into a challenging format. So far this winter, the lamb seems to have tamed the lion--perhaps they were inspired by the sentiments of this fine poem!

I delight that you enjoyed this poem, thanks for the review and comments. We are a mere 22 days removed from official Spring, all in all in western NC this has been a mild winter.

Hello Author... I liked this Even the Odds poem for the In like a Lion and Out like a Lamb contest. I do have a question about hopping lambs, but it's a poem so I'm going to go with the flow. :)

Susan yes the poetic requirement was to match the first and last n synonym which made it read a bit funky.

This is a fine contest entry. I find these contests with specific sllyable counts difficult. You have done an excellent job and in my opinion, have a good chance of winning. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Frank Jauregui
I really enjoyed this poem. You kept to the syllable count perfectly, and I think it flows nicely. The only thing, and maybe it's just me but as I read through it several times, I kept wanting to say leap at the end instead of the word hop. Regardless, it works - great job!

Your well-written even-the-odds poem makes excellent use of personification and metaphors to describe the element of the seasons.
Creatively composed

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I've heard this saying many times. I think that in my part of the country, it seems to ring true. We've had mild winters, then, before it's gone, a blast of bad weather before the calm. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!
