Comment from Bill Schott
This nonet, Spring's Approach, is formatted correctly and begins the list of expected and longed for examples of the change of seasons from dead winter to spring life. Nice.

You have constructed a very nice Nonet for this contest. Your words flow freely describing the signs that signal the approach of spring. This poem are all the things that I look forward to this time of year. Good work and best wishes in this competition.

Actually, the ocean doesn't get warmer, since the body of water is too large for it's temperature to be affected by the seasons :P Maybe the shallow waters on the beaches are warm though.
Aside from my silliness, I like your poem, and your varied descriptions of spring.

Dear Samantha, Thank you for your comments and review. Maybe that was what I was trying to say - that the shallows on the shore get warmer.Dear kurlman,
Comment from Sharon Haiste
This is a good entry for the Nonet Poem writing prompt.
Well written, your story is clear and you make me want spring to come even more. We're a couple of months away yet, unfortunately.
Well done and good luck to you with this one in the competition.

This poem made my heart sigh. It's cold and rainy here and as I stare out the window like a child with my face and hands pressed against the glass, I too, can't wait for spring!!! Thanks for the read.

Comment from Mark Valentine
I like the poem and I think you've captured a lot of the wonderful imagery we associate with spring. You may want to double check the contest rules though, because, while your poem's first line has 9 words (then 8,7,6 etc.), I believe the nonet form calls for 9 syllables (then 8,7,6...)
Hopefully, you can tweak it before the contest deadline.

Dear Mark, Thank you for your telling me to double check the contest rules. I edited practically the whole poem. Thank you for your comments and review.

No problem - I'm glad you were able to tweak it - it's a good poem.
