This speaks of romance in the air, and the lighthearted, airy, blossoming, and new life of Spring. I like what you've presented here and enjoyed reading this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

This acrostic poem, WHEN SPRING CAME, follows the vertical theme and finds our couple, Nadine and Petey, soaking in the sunshine and feeling out each other's inclinations to get serious. Nice.

Lovely. The Acrostic form is truly great when it incorporates rhyme, in my personal opinion. Also, an upbeat reading this morning is very welcoming as we deal mentally and physically with all that we are surrounded by.
This one was a joy to start my day with!

This is a cleverly rhymed acrostic with a good meter and the sentiments are magical, this is a well written acrostic and I hardly noticed it had to adhered to the rules, a winner for me, love Dolly x

A beautiful presentation of innocent love. The art is just so beautiful. Yes I can remember vividly my youthful first love and how wondrous and innocent it was.
