This poem for spring, Spring's Dewdrops Kiss, presented in iambic meter and an ABCB rhyme scheme, brings the 'leafy whorls' and all the other delightful sights of spring.

A lovely joyous poem, and a very lyrical one. The contrast between seasons is much more pronounced where you live - it must be splendid! Very well written.

Very nice and well-written poem about Spring. Not so easy to do when you are not allowed to use the words that usually describe Spring. But, you did it and did it well. Good luck with the contest!

It's interesting that this poem is written largely in archaic diction, but it seems to work! That's quite a feat, in and of itself. There are a few places that need editing, in my humble opinion. For one, you need punctuation. It will truly help your poem to insert commas, semi -colons and periods, appropriately. The lines, "And birds begin to buld their nests As all of this comes night" contains a misspelling and one too many "Ands". It could be edited to "The best birds begin to build their nests, as all of this comes nigh" (or something like that). Anyway, thank you for bringing beauty into the world re your poetry. Good luck with the contest!

This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem is exceptional. The abcb rhyme scheme is well done and the meter is strong throughout the poem. The imagery from the poem lends itself to envisioning a once frozen winter land transforming into a vibrant green haven before ones eyes; grass sprouting, blooms opening, birds nesting, etc. There is movement in this imagery as the spring time comes to life as this poem depicts. Beautifully written.
