You brought the sense of spring here with the rainfall, the birds and winds with a sense of change within your words, the big shift from winter to spring, love Dolly x

A very well-written twenty line poem about the strange weather we experience lately. We can not control the weather or change it, the only thing we can do is believe we will be safe when it is all over.

This is a really lovely poem. You have made excellent use of personification to describe how winter clings to life as spring is coming to have its turn.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Surely one of the best poems about the end of winter head-on meeting the beginning of spring. The words flow gracefully. It paints a beautiful mix of the two seasons in color, in audio... It is so well written that I can imagine myself in such a place of experiencing it as I read. Wow

You did a good job with your contest entry, Dove, I like the springy colors. Your rhymes are great, too. Your words create great imagery of spring wakening. The art you paired your well-chosen words with is fitting. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

This is an excellent 20 line entry in this contest, the rhyming aabb with some near rhyme in the aabb stanzas is good, the theme is great and the language good and with fluidity, makes it a good entry, well done, blessings, Roy

I think this is a really descriptive piece, and some of the language is well chosen and really helps to create an atmosphere. I'm not sure about the line - Thunder claps overhead - I stumbled a bit reading it, I think mostly as the rhyme isn't consistent in this verse, as it is elsewhere. This may just be how I'm reading it.

    Dear Whodunnit, Thank you for your review and compliment. I couldn't really think of a rhyme on the 3rd verse that begins with "thunder claps..." That's just how the poem came out of me. Dove

It's lovely and always calming to read compositions on mother Earth..... The author really is to be appreciated for the perfect cycle he/she pen down and highlighting probably the best elements of spring....
A quick tip: The tittle of the poetry brings out a lot....

Wonderful work!!!

    "A poetry- is what beyond"
    This is well quoted by Robert Frost....This "beyond" this idea is something you want to let the reader ponder but you do want to give some hint to the reader that would bring out the "hidden meaning" of the poetry....this is something that "I feel" is lacking..... probably just my perspective....

I enjoyed reading this poem that is full of images, sights and sounds that are well expressed. I like the calming feeling of nature expressed through these words. Bill
