This is quite a fresh, just like spring time, poem. Flowers blooming, a lush green grass, and birds singing. I didn't know if you meant the squirrel skittered or it scuttled, but it was very pleasant. We all look forward for the nice warm weather. R56ma3:Susan C.

    Dear Susan, thank you for your comments and review. Dove P.S. The word in the last word was "scuttled."

Comment from Commissioner Flanagan

This work has reached the exceptional level

The poet exudes and expounds on the beauty and value of the birth of Spring. The poet aptly describes the natural effects of the first day of May and equates the birth of her brother to the birth and awakening of the Spring season.

Haha just letting you know that "scuttled" may mean something very different from what you though. Unless you meant that the squirrel committed hari kari or jumped on a grenade or choked on a nut. Good luck in the contest. Best,

I like that you tie new plant, animal and human life together in this lovely poem about Spring and new beginnings. You chose a nice rhyming scheme and the illustration - the colors and animation - are perfect for this. Good luck with your entry.
