I love that this is a poem about spring. Beautiful presentation and lovely words. I echo your sentiments and the tease of it is captivating. Just watching and waiting to see what beauty spring will bring next. Great entry for the contest. Thanks for sharing.

You will no doubt hate me, but your poem does not make sense to me.

Nature teases me ( this is fine)
Modeling Her loveliness ( you then do what?)
Captive in her arms( action was required and you simply made a statement)

It should be more like this:

Nature teases me
I bask in the loveliness
Held captive by joy

If you edit your poem, tell me so I can change your rating to a five. I can tell you have the talent in you. When I first got here I was edited to death. Our work is our babies, and once you get past hating me, you see the difference. I wish you luck. Karen :-)

I like your personification here of nature showing off her beauty as spring arrives. Your 5-7-5 verse captures a sense of her being in control and titillating your emotions. Well done and good luck! Debbie

A lovely expression of your love of nature. We can never hope to be as beautiful and thrilling as She is, not even when captive in her arms.

A beautiful and fitting image for this poem; I wish you good luck in the contest.

A lovely entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry contest. The poem brings mother nature to life in all her beauty. The artwork you chose to accompany it captures the elegance of springtime and adds to the effect of the poem. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

You have used a great picture.
This reader enjoyed this poem very much. An easy read that has excellent pace and flow.
Even with the short word count you have shown the beauty of spring time.
Thank you!

When you say beauty teases me you do not mention nature yet in your author's notes you write take time to enjoy nature's beauty. The picture you chose is beautiful beyond compare it infuses me with your caring nature and helps me to see that you are a kind, caring person.
Enjoy the weekend.
