Hello Tom,
This is a marvelously descriptive poem with
wonderful use of color in imagery.
The rhymes are excellent with some creativity added
in the "Cu" and "low" usage.
I like the last stanza with the artistic comparison
and reference to the Original Painter.
Great picture, a marvelous view to enjoy each day.
Well done.
Best wishes.
Robert

You paint such a wonderful scene with your words that the picture is just a compliment to your writing. The vegetation and the animal life make spring come to life. I really liked that second line. Excellent closing.
Since you ask my vote is that you do not need to italicize the varied colors mentioned. You intertwine them well into the verse as it is.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Beautiful poem with very descriptive words and colorful imagery. My first reaction was yes colorize the words but I think that would make your poem less effective. It would be distracting. I'm not sure if you can, but maybe you could work in a few smilies like"as orange as..." That's another way to pop the color I would think.
Best wishes!!

Since I am a painter, I can say you wrote this as if at an easel, you eye taking credit to our Creator at the end, turns it into a prayer. You count your blessings.

What did you think of the ending? We had Angel Trumpets ahead of a heavenly procession. If I could have found another way but didn't, so I asked why not for He is the Artiste mMagnifique. (fr.)
Thanks Ginda? not Glinda? Later. Tom H
Comment from BethShelby
This is a nice photograph which still doesn't contain nearly as many colors as you have included in you poem. I wouldn't think it would be necessary to make the colors Italic. If anythinig I might put the last line in italics,because the last words are quotes.

I see, I think, though I didn't intend the line to be quotes, I see where they could be. Fondly yours for your time. Tom
Comment from royowen
No I don't think you should italicise the colour, it's part of your descriptive text. You're displaying your poetic abilities here, the rural scene is like painting a scene with words, some may even say the artwork is unnecessary, a slightly controversial subject, beautifully written Tom, blessings Roy

Is your reference in regard to the final line? Not sure what else could be controversial. Appreciate the read and comment.

No, I didn?t really find any fault with it Tom,
