I see this as a perfect representation to the glory of Springtime, and the picturesque sights within this season. Your image and wording combine nicely. Best wishes for you with this 5-7-5 contest.

Beauty surrounds us in love, in life and in Spring. When the cold ground bursts forth and the flower buds bloom. It should tease our senses over and over, bringing joy to one and all. Your words describe it perfectly.
Smiles, Carol

This is a lovely 5/7/5 poem for the contest. Spring is a beautiful time of year and your poem reflects that feeling. I really like the personification of Spring. Nice touch.
Blessings

Beauty may tease us, but I don't mind it a bit. I think a person with will, decides for himself if he or she will be tempted. To look, is a blessing. To touch, maybe is a sin. I'm not going to worry about it, I'm just going to enjoy it. Best wishes.

I noticed someone saying that you needed to include the text of nature/spring in a piece about it. That's nonsense and you already knew that. What you have here works better: text that anthropomorphizes and complements a picture of a woman enjoying spring.

Ok, if you were to make visual upgrades, here's where you might start:

-changing the hyphen to a comma, to make the break softer

-adding some color to the text and/or background

-experimenting with fonts

You can do the latter part in the advanced editor, if you so choose. There is no obligation to do so; most of my first pieces here were very visually simplistic, and some veteran writers here prefer to keep all their work that way.

Thanks for the read,

This is an extremely artful 5-7-5 poem. I particularly enjoyed the understated use of enjambment. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest. kay

I love nature haiku or 5-7-5 poems. Yours is very nice. I like the presentation too. Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest!
