Comment from Soulester
Hi, Brooke! Oh, your poem is a perfect spring delight! I was in the grocery store the other day, and they had real pussy willows for sale. My heart actually leapt with joy! (Imagine if I ever get a grandchild! LOL)
I really like your "sleeves of pink and leaves of green/their bright costume"; and "As winter turns its final page"; and "for months they huddled quite unseen/the snow their tomb/but now each flake has been swept clean/by springtime's broom; and of course, "Each bud and bloom". That's practically the whole poem! GReat job! Mary

My mother always had sprigs of pussy willows in a bronze colored vase in our living room in spring - I can close my eyes and see it as if it were yesterday, even where it was placed in the living room. Thanks so much, Mary. :-) Brooke

I am so sorry, I got hung up on the artwork. At one of the places we lived we had a bush with the same flowers. I couldn't remember which military post it was. We all stood around my computer and compared notes. I know that's bad, isn't it? Now I will get to your poem. Your poem is just as beautiful as the buds. As always you amaze me.

Tis the time we all start thinking of spring. I fear we still have a few weeks of winter, but the thought of sun and rain and flowers, warms the cockles of my heart. Having siad that, I had two English bull dogs, one was Bud and the other Bloom. The only thing was when they had a release, it wasn't sweat perfume. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem of spring. I can't wait for the temperatures to accompany the sunshine we're having today. Mike

This is a wonderful poem, Brooke! It captures the beauty of springtime quite elloquently. I think the picture you've chosen to accompany your poem is perfect. It highlights those ideas of, "sleeves of pink and leaves of green," as well as helping with, "dispelling all our glum and gloom." Your syllable counts and rhyme scheme are perfect. Great work on a really sweet piece.

You've written another gem Brooke. This poem is so sweet, the flowers remind me of the season I've been waiting for, spring!
This is the first time I read an odogram, accordin to the authors notes, this is perfect.
Have a wonderful weekend.
