I admire your smooth flow of rhyming words that add to the strength of your theme. "My melancholy reverts as anticipations swarm" is a line that shows feelings as spring is about to come forth. Excellent acrostic form and use of words.

An excellent rhyming acrostic poem. I am anxiously awaiting Spring and your lovely poem. I watch for each harbinger and hope that winter exits and Spring arrives.
Well done.
Blessings

Comment from NANCY V. FORREST
This piece is a nice commentary on the promise of spring in the depths of winter. The form is well followed and the photograph a lovely example of the setting.

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are clear, descriptive, hopeful and creative. I thought
about when I lived in NY how much during the winter I wanted spring to
come. The poem brought back many memories of the joy spring brings!
The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is perfect!

This is a very beautiful and very well written rhyming acrostic poem you have penned for the writing prompt contest. You used very good descriptive words and lovely imagery from the art work you chose. Your words and art work go very well together. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Comment from Maria Millsaps
Spring Comes- I found this acrostic poem to be well crafted. I like your usage of metaphors and similes. The last part of your poem, you nicely closed with a vision of hope. Spring Comes, and yes it does with the newness and freshness of a new birth.

Comment from GWEnos
Great poem! I especially like the rhyming scheme. I wish I'd thought of it. Believe I shall rewrite one of mine - with a few stolen words from yours. I hope you do well in the contest.

Comment from Frank Malley
Acrostic poems impose difficult limits that often cause poets to use corny rhymes and propped diction. "Spring Comes" does not fall prey to the difficult limits, and expresses capably a love for Spring, probably one of the most poetically selected of all topics. I would suggest removing the commas in line 8; obverting is used here to mean, I think, functioning as a ceiling for pre-spring stillness and slumber. I think line 10 would be a little stronger thus: ' Exiting winter; tremulous no more as my heart warms.' Merely suggestions.

Yes, we all need spring to burst forth and rescue us from the bitter cold. I've read several of these entries today and I like this one. What a wonderfully written poem.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.
