You wrote a very nice poem that everyone can enjoy, children and adults. I will cast my vote that I am more than ready for spring. I like more daylight.

Good luck on the contest.

I did very much enjoy this uplifting poem about spring. I did wonder if "oak" needs to be capitalised, but otherwise it's excellent. Light in tone - as a poem about spring should be, smooth rhyme and fine metre, and an excellent presentation. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you Wendy, the font is a bit weird in that the O on oak is actually capitalized.

This poem, Children's Spring, presented with a sonnet-esque formatting, looks forward to spring with the tell-tale signs of same being present here and there. Nice.

This is one of my favorites of your poems. The picture is perfect for the message of this poem. In your next to the last line, you have a typo for constant. Sadly I just left out the "r" in farther in a poem I entered in a contest in another site this week.

Verna, Ha! You would think I would have just copiued the stanza above, instead using phat fingers to type the same line ...😒😒

Thank you for these special six stars!

A lovelyvisual poem JLR. I could picture each scene you described, the squirrels the birds announcing Spring. Sounds delightful. Good luck in the contest, cheers.

It's a shivering ten degrees as I sit here reading this and thus your poem makes me smile in anticipation. I'd love to read this to my youngest grandchild, Maxwell, who is 8. (The rest are teens and, well, need I say more/)

Great rhyme and meter!

(Last line, maybe change "there" to "their)

Wiki dictionary tells me:

"Frogspawn is a non-solid block that hatches tadpoles."

Great word!

I can hardly wait to look for it in my beloved crosswords!

Thanks dear friend. My notes explore frog spawn. And yeah, I ran by my 8 years of grand daughter ? she smiled, while my 13 year old engaged with questions.
