Excellent for the Collom Lune Contest. Daffodils are so pretty.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

The presentation is well written. Love daffodils, a spring flower which is just so welcomed. Your words do make us feel like spring is lost. The snow is still on the ground, and they haven't started peeking through the frozen earth yet.

Seeing a daffodil in the snow is sad but happy. Your poem brought that out and made the reader feel for the daffodil. Very creative and unique, your poem should do well in the contest.

Your poem reminds me of my Mom's daffodils that always bloom in March regardless of the weather. I am sure they would be thinking your words and asking if Spring is lost. I like how this poem is from the daffodil's viewpoint. This is a clever and creative poem.

Good job with this prompt. I always find it a challenge to determine what theme to use when entering these writing prompts. Our readers get to be a bit fickle at times. Yours should do well. Nice.

    You're so right about being "fickle" - I entered a contest with an "exceptional" and it only received one vote. Oh well, than you for the review. I just went for personification and hope it works.

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
is a great question! I pondered on snow on the Daffodil and it made me
wonder too! The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem.

Poor daffodil, all covered with snow. However, something like this is a common sight here in Michigan. Your poem is cute and creative. I wish you worlds of luck in the contest.

This is a good entry into the Collom Lune contest. The text is an okay size but could be one size larger under such a large visual.
The message is clearly stated except here} or spring lost? You need to replace the "or" with "is or put is after the word or. Now one line out of three is unclear. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

-Nice image and presentation.
-You wrote a good poem with a good topic
and followed the prompt instructions.
-I like how you personalize the daffodil
as it wonders about the snow and whether
it is early or spring is lost.
-A good entry; good luck.
