Thanks Linda.
Oh! Crikey---does that mean I'm old/er? Lol.
I just love sunshine and colour, the magic of nature and being outdoors.
Although our winters are really fairly mild here on the east coast of Oz
I find the season a trial. Colds, flu viruses are rampant then...and I hate it.

Exceptional

In gentle breeze or warmth of sun
Body and soul rejoice as one.
The dreariness of winter's cold
Is now replaced by joy untold.

Wow, your poem expressed the beauty of nature, your lines and rhyming brought so much joy to my hearing. The picture you chose describes the beauty through each word written by you. Excellent work done here. Terry xoxo

Shirley;
-the pictures so appropriate and relative along with being complementary to the poem.
-Excellent rhyming reach rhyming word was contingent to the meaning and concept of each line therefore making the rhythm to flow smoothly.
-The rhythmic meter being iambic tetrameter and the cadence, timing and Temple while helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and easy.
-The imagery's of spring were definitively expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive throughout the writing.
-Good use of enjambment.
-Good alliteration of the S words in the fourth verse first-line.
-Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you forever.
Alex

Excellent

Good rhymings. I like your use of alliterations in many of the lines. Your celebrated spring so much that it is almost contagious. Nice use of season phrases.

I am very privileged to live in a beautiful valley in Australia.
