So few words yet such a powerful message. I like that you did not use any capital letters or punctuation. I think it gives your words more power and intrigue

Comment from LIJ Red
The five seven five prompt seems very straightforward, and this short work seems to adhere to that prompt. The message is true, indeed. Excellent.

thisd should not be confused with the haiku. The only rule in the 5-7-5 contest is that the syllable count should accurate. It is. After that you simply have to consider whatever the message of the poem is. This is a nice way of telling us that summer is on its way.

Yeah I agree about the difference between haiku and the FanStory 5-7-5 prompts. If the writer wants to utilize the rules of haiku, then the poem form can be used for either format. Thanks for your review and sharing your thoughts, Pantygynt.
Comment from NJK62
This is a witty and original poem about spring. It evokes the sense of renewal that the sun brings after winter, so effectively conveyed through the image of the 'hibernating face'. Furthermore, the alliteration of 'brings me back to life' give the satori line additional force. Well done and thanks for sharing it with us. Nigel.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Isn't that the way for us all? After a long winter, we now can feel that sun and come alive again. And you have said all that in those few words. Well done, it's a lovely 5-7-5 contest entry. Good luck! xsx Sandra

Comment from RosieCus
An excellent contest entry. I like the line "hibernating face". I think we do retreat into ourselves and our dwellings during winter. Spring spiritually brings us all back to life. The two words convey so much meaning for me. Good luck with the contest.

A very nice 5-7-5- but your first line is six syllables long. Feel is 2 syllables.fee-el. I know this for a fact. Very nice poem otherwise. Tony Bronk

Thanks so much, Tony, for this review and your comments for my poem. I appreciate your taking the time to read and share your comments. It must be your pronunciation of feel, because Merriam-Webster, Poetry Soup, and How Many Syllables all give the word one syllable. Thanks!

Guess I'm wrong! Tony

Not accented syllable though. Tony

But not accented syllables, though for meter. Tony

Hibernating face. I like that. Good job and correct in the 5-7-5 requirement. The spring sun is also well thought out.

Comment from PoemsOfDD
This is an interesting entry into the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. I like how this piece feels and what it is about. However, I'm not entirely convinced on the last word of the middle line.
How does a face hibernate? What sprung to my mind was a 'hibernating soul'. Just throwing it out there. Best of luck for the competition. ~DD

Thanks, PoemsOfDD, for your review and comments for my poem. I appreciate your taking the time to read and share your comments. It was just a little metaphor to describe my face hiding away from sunlight. Thanks!
