Excellent entry for the Spring writing prompt contest. I love the presentation!
A beautiful poem with stunning imagery if nature.
I enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed your unique style and well chosen words. The rhymes don't seem
Your writing flows naturally and it's easy to understand.
Good luck in the contest.
Well done.

I?m always pleased to get praise from you, Gypsy. I am delighted you enjoyed my Spring poem. One reviewer called it an "ode to the desert" which it may be.
Comment from Ulla
This is yet another beautifully written poem for the spring contest. This time it's an ode to the desert, which I agree springs into an abundance of colours before it dies out once more. Good luck. Ulla:)))

This has a chance if read. The photo may hurt you some. It isn't clear. I know its hard to select when few options are given. Still, you have one vote for yours has rhythm and the description of high desert is different than all the others about daffodils and such,

What a pleasure to hear one?s language referred to as "exquisite." Many thanks, zanya, for the wonderful praise of my Spring poem and those six glistening stars.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is an excellent rhyming poem. And from Nevada born and raised adds a personal touch to the nuance of this piece. I also love the desert! My favorite place to go in California is Joshua Tree national forest! I love watching the bright stars at night there are thousands of them up in the sky! Climbing the rocks is loads of fun too. When I was young I used to imagine that I lived in a wonderful place like the desert!
Anyway, I loved the rhyme scheme and the choice of words to rhyme! This is by far the best one in the running for the contest!
Good luck with the contest!

Thank you, James, for sharing and praising my Spring poem so highly. I have never been to Joshua Tree National Forest, but I?d love to see a sky full of bright stars.

Yes, they are lovely!
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
I love the imagery your writing created. I felt the dry air on my cheeks and the lizards dancing across my feet.
The sensory details connected me to the atmospheric majesty that you described.
I am more of a mountain and water person, but I do appreciate the beauty and mystery of the desert.

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are interesting, colorful, nature based, descriptive and creative. I have never seen a desert. The author's words convey a beauty in the desert in the spring. It does sound awesome! The artwork is great and goes well with the words of this poem.

Dolly, I really appreciate your calling my Spring poem a "special write." Many thanks for your high praise and that six-star bonus.
Comment from Anne Johnston
Great rhyming and free flowing, your very descriptive words, describe spring in the desert. It must be beautiful there when the flowers appear and spring returns.
