Winter has passed and spring is starting to blossom and it's well described in your Tri-Fall poem. I love the sound of the squirrels cavorting and the hummingbirds hovering, with scattered alliteration through your verses, always adds to the read.
cheers.

I must admit, I have never seen nor heard of a Tri-fall poem before now, Yvonne.
But I DO know what I like, and I very much enjoyed reading your rendition.
Very nice...

This is a really well-written poem about when the dawn of spring arrives! It's so beautiful when we get to finally see many plants and animals escaping their winter hibernation; the world restores in its natural beauty again. Your poem really expresses that moment :)

This is such a pretty poem! Great use of alliteration throughout. I especially like "cursing cats". I can almost hear that little chattering sound the squirrels make. You've created wonderful imagery with your skillful wording and this piece has made me even more ready for spring, especially since we're about to get dumped on with more snow. Lol :) Excellent work! :)

    I envy you the snow. We've only had a smattering for one day.

    Thank you for such a wonderful review. I still like winter best. 8-)

This tri-fall poem, Winter Has Passed, is nicely formed and creates the anticipation for spring. Not to be that guy, but do 'trees' and 'hovering' rhyme? Happy day.

    You're absolutely right. Since I'm not going to publish it anywhere else, I'll let it go. Thanks for catching it. Thanks for watching out for me.

"Tri-fall"
what a pretty intricate style of poetry
and I must say; you have "nailed it"
with beauty of speech and graceful lines telling an excellent story of the seasons' change
I absolutely love your closing line
and the form you have it perfect as well as the word imagery is vivid and strong
blessings
have a smiley day

Nice bright work praising all the wondrous things nature has in store for us in Spring.

It is all the more intriguing and full of hope as we still have snow on the ground here

    I wish we had snow here. Hopefully, we'll get some before February is over. The year I bought this house, everything was covered in ice on April 1. That's too late. I want it now. lol

    Thank you for your review.

The best-liked time of year
by many
because all life begins anew.
Birdsongs bring lilting cheer,
not any
blemishes on horizons blue.' Beautiful your rhyme scheme is also perfect. Well done spring is also my favorite time of year. Love and kindest regards love Meia x
