Hi Jessica,
This is a good poem about the hope and beauty that flowers bring to us,
They are a sign of better things to come.
I think it ironic that you chose a dandelion as your "flower" since it is a weed that takes nourishment from other garden plants. Though they do show us Spring is here and we have a lot of work to do.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great rest of the day.
Joan

Beautiful entry for the contest. Your words paint a vivid picture for the reader, especially those of us waiting for spring's warmer weather. Syllable count is correct and I saw no needed corrections.

I love this image of spring waiting to poke through the frozen ground. It does seem that spring is on the horizon and the longer nights are starting to return. An excellent piece of writing.

Comment from Deborah Dybowski
Your poems are always so beautifully written. I feel that this poem is about hope. Hope for a new season after a cold winter. I like your idea of a garden beneath the winter's snow waiting to reveal itself.
