Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
A very lovely poem that is easy to read and has a very nice rhythm. The one thing I want to change is the rose so early in the spring. They are a summer flower. Sorry to be so picky.

Thank you very much, Carol, for your kind praise of my sonnet. I am delighted it was easy to read. Our roses will start blooming in May and last all summer. Rod

I don't know why it won't let you. There may be an easier way, but what if you wrote the title in your Word document, then cut and pasted it above the picture? I don't know if that would work, I've never had that problem.
But back to your poem. It's lovely. I especially like the first verse, but remembering life's Springs with the blooming of people and flowers - new beginnings - wonderful things.
I recognize blue bonnets - which we have fields of where I live, in the spring. Lovely poem.

I enjoyed your Ode to Spring. I especialy enjoyed the last stanza: "No, Spring's allure won't fade though we grow old,
for memories of youth are stored like gold."
We store our fond memories as if they were gold. Well done.

Comment from flylikeaneagle
Penpal: Spring is such a welcome to us housebound with extra white fluffy snow. Then, the snow gets slushy and we throw a few snowballs. The tulips are a welcome to see in the spring. I like your sonnet and visuals of Cinderella at the ball and roses pushing up. We have daffodils and tulips here in Minnesota. flylikeaneagle Stars *****************

We got a huge snowfall yesterday that makes me wonder if we will ever see Spring. I am so pleased you enjoyed my sonnet and the "visuals of Cinderella." Many thanks for the wonderful review and six bright stars. Rod

I enjoyed reading and reviewing your sonnet for the contest, Mystery Author. It reads well although I believe a couple lines are out of meter, but that could be the way I perceive it. Your words are descriptive and your picture enhances them.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

It certainly adheres to the guideline of Anticipating Spring, telling of the many and varied delights that blessed season has in its treasure chest - can't wait to watch it unfold !
