Your poem brings the gentle sound of the wind chimes to life, I also feel the soft breeze. Spring is my favorite time of year, rebirth, warmer days, more daylight. Having them all together in one poem is awsome.

Oh yes, those wind chimes. Such a sweet sight and a pleasant sound. We have them all through the house, and yet most of the time I forget they are there. They are just an integral part of our lives, a bit like breathing - we would only miss them if they left. kay

like your poem. We are ready for spring like your poem. The ringing of the chimes produces an abundance of musical notes, as it gently blows within the wind's air waves.

I love wind chimes and the sounds they make. The wind is telling a story, and they help spread it to the ear of those who will listen.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Nice presentation. Good imagery of spring and sound of chimes.

Good luck in the contest.

I saw the photo of the chimes and I knew I had to stop by. My wife has, I think four various sized chimes along our back deck and three on the front porch. Oh yea, and two tiny ones hanging from a kitchen cart which our golden retrievers tail likes to find.

So, I most certainly enjoyed your poem!
Cheers. John

    I envy your wife?s collection of wind chimes. I guess size makes a difference in the sound one hears. Manny thanks, John, for sharing my poem.

This is a good entry into the 2-10-2 contest. The text is a great size. I like that it is centered on the large visual. It makes the message more prominent. The message is clearly stated. I like that you are personifying the wind as a soprano. It's well-done in the title and poem.
The visual fits the text. Good luck in the contest.
