Your poem expressed all the wonderment of spring. I truly enjoyed every word. I look forward to warmer weather, melting snow, blossoming trees and flowers, the
sighting of the first robin or blue bird. Great job.

I like how there is a second theme underlying "spring" here. The idea of a "return." Winter freezes everything and then with spring comes this great return of how things were or a continuation. The water being freed, the birds coming back, the mother bear with her cubs...I think I would have like to have seen that continued in the last stanza; that would have tied everything nicely all together.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Each sense of the body is tickled with each more descriptive line after line. Fantastic use of language to transport myself into this shifting world of color time and temperature.

I love the genuine honesty of this piece. I think it is super brave of you to write about spring before winter has arrived.

That said, I did get the comforting, warm feelings while waiting with you for its return. Best, JohnC

I can understand your love for the spring especially if you live in the northern part of the United States or Canada where the winters are so severe. A beautifully written and presented rhyming poem.

Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest.

This is an inspiring poem; makes me want spring to be at my doorstep tomorrow. I particularly enjoyed your bring in the awakening bear with cubs and giving them a time to play and you have by writing this thoughtful piece.

Best,
Mim

This is a truly beautiful, well written piece of poetry in which you have described the onset of Spring so vividly. The imagery is gorgeous and you have used some lovely alliteration too. Good luck.
