good use of abcb rhyming
pops it's head - drop the apostrophe
good illustrative examples that show the change from winter cold to life-giving and warm spring :-) Brooke

A blend of activities that array the season of Spring as we portray
with the incentive of short shorts, mini skirts and bathing suits and singing skip-to-my-loo all the awhile.
Good fluency and cadence through.

I can only hope it will be so. I thought this cheerful poem was well-rhymed, flowed smoothly, and fulfilled the requirements of the prompt. I can't think of a thing I would suggest you change. Strong entry.

This line: "Teachers end the school year and hand out the final grade."... is the best part of this ode to spring. Nice job with the Spring-to-Spring placement.

    Thank you for reviewing my poem. We had a week of wonderful bike riding weather. Then Minnesota decided not quite yet and a few more inches of snow hit covering the green grass. Hopefully this week we should warm up once again. Thank you for taking your time for the great review.

G'day mate. This beautiful poem is like a breath of fresh air after all the cold doom and gloom pieces over the last few months. It's a wonderful contest entry and I wish you luck. Cheers Fez

    Thanks Fez. I agree. Spring is really a great season, sunshine always give me a new perspective. I have been out in the fresh air and that makes a world of difference. Thank you for the review too. Hope all is well with you too. Happy Easter.

Light and easy. That's what this poem is. It's bright and sunny, ushering in the new season. You bring to life the essential ingredients of Spring and the only thing missing is a light breeze. The rhyming kept the poem moving along nicely.

I like how you talk about the things that go on during spring season. Most that write about the earth rebirth. I know I dd. Looking at spring in your eyes I see accomplishments happening.
