Hello Bear-Woman,

Hibernating! Well, now I know what you've been up to these past weeks. lol.

I enjoyed your touch of spring 5-7-5 this evening. The poem has good flow and has something very positive to say. I think most of us felt like we had been hibernating due to the very harsh winter. The sun is indeed good.

Good luck to you in the contest.

Ray

Excellent Poem! The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last
line says it all. The reader pondered on the words of this poem and visualized
the scene.

Sounds great but where is that spring sun. Where I live, it is raining almost every day and when it isn't raining, it's cloudy. I'm thinking I may need to build an ark.

Your choice of background color make your words easier to read. Your words flowed together line to line combining and forming the message of the poem to the reader. I think you completed the challenge of the contest well.

Not sure this is exactly how it happens, but I'm prepared to grant poetic license here. It usually takes some creative thinking for the reader to understand some of these shorter pieces. But this one was easily understood. This is my favorite of the bunch posted.

"feel of the spring sun
on my hibernating face
brings me back to life"
indeed, surviving the winter cold when the spring starts bringing a frown upside down. this is an excellent reminder of how the seasons change and how people react to that change.
thank you for shairng!
good luck!
blessings!
