We have many humming birds that frequent the front yard the one pictured is a slightly fancier one and he compliments your words beautifully. Your write is absolutely top drawer and I wish you luck in the contest - Dinah

This has all the freshness of spring bursting from it. How I miss that wonderful sense of renewal that comes at this time of the year in the northern hemisphere. We have nothing to compare with it here in Australia. "Timid new-born lambs balance on spindly legs" - they do, don't they? Lovely image!

How interesting to hear about the contrast in hemispheres- and how does Spring manifest 'downunder'? Thank you for this considered review zanya

Your lovely free verse paints a vivid picture of life out in the wilds. The crocus image is a particularly good start, setting off the scene with sensual colour. I like the finish where you talk of seasonal cycles renewed.

Good description that paint a clear picture in my mind. Good alliteration with Daffodils/dare/dance...through/the...crows/caw. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

This free verse poem presents many images in their own settings. Birds, daffodils, light, evening shadows, crows and lambs, winds and the earth. It is simple, direct, and understandable. I like the variety, the choosing of
the things discussed. Congratulations. Dom

Feels like spring is just around the corner after reading your poem. I like the smooth free verse and the lack of punctuation frees up the reader. Nicely done. Don
