I enjoyed the progression in this write from the chill and depression of winter to the heart stirring anticipation of spring.

Excellent rhymed acrostic which is not easy to accomplish.

I didn't know the meaning of "obvert' so I've now improved my vocabulary.

Good luck in the prompt.

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

Beautifully penned and illustrated acrostic poem, mystery poet. Surely you live in the cold north and eagerly await the return of spring.

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sally :))

I like the way you started off a bit depressing and turned into a happy poem. Your words flow, your poem has universal appeal. We have all experienced winter blues. The picture made me think more of winter than spring, but your poem was great on its own anyway.

thank you, I used the wintry scene to set the tone that winter still lingers, Spring is still just a thought to come.

A fine acrostic with creative rhyming and telling a lovely story of Spring's arrival. I hope this does well in the contest. It seems to have all the right ingredients. Best wishes. MM

Excellent. There was a time when I lived in the great Northern state of Michigan, when I would love to welcome the reappearance of Spring and then Summer. Now that I live in Southern California, Spring means very little to me. Your beautiful poem however, is a fine piece of work. Congratulations.

This is a beautiful entry for the contest. I am really looking forward to spring - a time of warmth and rebirth, now that we've had below freezing temps for weeks now! Your well-chosen words have given us something to look forward to in a most lyrical way.

Exceptional

The Acrostic aim is so eloquently achieved here as the poet anticipates the coming of Spring despite the fact that winter is still heavily embedded in the natural world- a sense of joy at the prospect is clear
