I like the format of this. One line threw me: a contented purring. Wouldn't contentment come after the homecoming? This didn't seem logical to me, but poetry is not my expertise.
Aside from that- great metaphor and use of parallel structure and consonance.

It's suppose to be the contentment felt in preparation for another spring. Thanks for reviewing.

Fun poem and I could image this image and these words as a calendar page for one of the winter months. The pattern of a few words followed by a single word set a positive flow/pacing to the poem.
I especially liked the phrase "born-again garden.' The poem has a positive sense of awaiting the plants to push through the dirt and thereby push winter away.

I want to be where you are! LOL We have just entered into the slot of winter and it will hang around until May. I do miss Vegas. Your poem is clever and uplifting. Well done Dallas. A little bit of rhyme goes a long way here. Nancy

A very well-written poem. Although it is mid-winter and everything is buried under the snow. The stirring of new growth can be felt in waiting for Spring to come.

Nicely done! This was a thoroughly enjoyable read and made me eager to browse through the seed catalogs in anticipation of spring's arrival. Perfect artwork and no errors needing correction. Good job!

Your vivid artwork selection established the mood for the "homecoming" of "the born again garden". Your addition of alliteration heightened the scene. Cheers and happy landscapes ahead- Joan
