I had such a good time creating this poem as with the unfamiliar style it was a challenge. The people at this site are so great at helping with correcting and I am so glad I found it. Thank you for your kind review.

Very nicely done. The complicated form seems correct and your poem reads well, too. These are my favorite lines:
"My favorite time of year is Spring
red Robins sing their song.
A Magpie bird is apt to bring
a string of thefts along."

Thanks for sharing your select part of my poem. I appreciate that and if you have ever had a magpie around or found a nest you would know how they like to "collect" things. Have a great day.

Annie. You are a superb poet! I love the flow and imagery. I saw the tulips and crocus bursting through the snow and the images of overflow. Beautiful poem and excellent work. I'd recommend your work to everyone.

Very well written. An enjoyable read. It flowed well, was easy to follow, each line 'connected well' to the previous one. Well done. Also enjoyed the photo.

Please remember that most of us are not 'expert reviewers' so if someone is too critical, take what is helpful, but don't take it too seriously or get discouraged. I try to encourage writers, even in my limited knowledge of poetry. There are a lot of great people on this web site. Hope that makes sense.

reply by the author on 13-Jul-2016

It makes perfect sense. I have run into a lot of helpful people you being one of them. Thanks.
