Beautiful poem about the awakening of spring. How I wish it would get here! I like your line about the color of crocuses. They truly are the first flowers to herald in springtime. So pretty when you wrote "saffron blue and mauve" and the gentleness of those frail little newborn lambs on their "spindly legs". You really capture the sense of kinder weather with your line "Wind's raw edge softens. Can't wait for March! Well done.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Loved the imagery and flow of thought composed in your free verse poem. Good alliteration too with: daffodils dare to dance, crows caw. Like the thought that dawn rises earlier with, light spills earlier through the curtain, and that sunset is later with, evening shadows fall ever later.

What a lovely work about spring! Writing in free verse gives the poet more chance to use metaphor and simile. You have done that so well here! Every picture you have drawn is vibrant and alive: "wind's raw edge; Light spills earlier through the curtain (so evocative!)Crows caw noisily from the highest branch etc. Loved it. In my observations of spring (even early spring) is that the birds I tend to hear are the song birds. The crows come out in this part of the country in the winter. You are to be congratulated on a terrific work.

You have packed many springtime images into a short poem and many are very original & fresh in how you presented them. Great alliteration & movement: "Daffodils dare to dance" . . . I have to say "saffron" in the first line felt like a bump to me since I know it as being bright yellow/orange, not blue/mauve. All-time favorite line: "Timid new-born lambs balance on spindly legs" which is so original & true-to-life. Thanks for sharing.
