I like your personification of Spring. Having Spring hoping for the best is a great image. Thank you for sharing this. Keep up the good work. Best wishes.

You have a great poem with much thought. The picture is beautiful.
Hopefully, the beauty of spring will return. The weather has been weird. We must hope, and keep the faith. Thank you for the great poem.

This poem, Spring is in the Air, gives voice to our favorite season, next to summer, autumn, and winter. The others aren't talking though.

This is an interesting and well written one, and should be a good candidate for success in the contest. Sending you good wishes. (Just edit out the "Of" at the end.)

    Thank you so much, Wendy, this post is rather much looking towards the east of Europe and the threat coming from there. Spring has come to an abrupt halt.
    I have removed the 'of'. I have no idea where that came from. Thanks so much again.

I like your story because I am waiting for the smell of spring's fresh air and the creeping flowers peeking through the ground and the splashing mud puddle instead of the snow.

    Thank you so much. But is this really about spring?
reply by Rosemary Everson1 on 24-Feb-2022
    Spring is the name..were you not talking about nature?
reply by the author on 24-Feb-2022
    No, not really, I used how spring could have a hard time as a metaphor for what is happening right now in Eastern Europe.

Excellent entry for the Personification contest. You followed the rules of the contest well.

I like the personification of spring... Very clever.

The story flows nicely and it's easy to follow.

Good luck in the contest.

A lovely and unique personification of Spring. This was a charming read - Thank you for sharing! I read it twice through - always nice to end on a note of hope. It fits the brief well and conjures lovely imagery - Best of luck in the contest!

This is a lovely poem written in the first person with the character Spring.
If you don't mind, I found two errors - height (needs an "e") and forces over which I have no control.
A neat poem enumerating the pleasures and benefits of Spring.
Sorry you're having harsh weather. Today, in San Antonio we're in the high 70s. Of course, we could get cold again at the drop of a hat.
You got a lot in, in 150 words. good job.

Spring is a good choice for the personification contest. However, I feel that this entry could have gone further towards the actuel personification of the season. The author has left the activity of the season as it is, and merely allowed it to talk, in the first person.

    Thanks a lot. I see what you're saying, but you seemed to miss the underlying theme.
    Also, I only had 150.words to play with. Never mind. It fell flat.
