Oh, yes, extend her stay. We've not had many warm days yet in Indiana, but Eclipse Day was pretty nice. I love all the yellow flowers and the blossoms on the trees. Great comparison to a romping child. Yes, spring brings a feeling of rejuvenation. Excellent rhyme in this, and I love the bouncy flow. Makes it sound like that rollicking child. Congrats on the contest win. judi

You're very welcome, Rod. I've had a hard time getting on track with both reviewing and writing after my fall and hospital stay. I don't think I'll ever get caught up with reviewing. I appreciate you for being such a faithful reviewer. Loved your poem. judi
Comment from Sally Law
This is really lovely for the spring poetry contest. I enjoyed it all and the vintage art added unique flair. Spring used to be more celebrated in the past, I think. Sending you my best today as always and my very best wishes in the contest.

Good simile of spring as a romping child.

Very lovely poem to celebrate spring. It has a lively rhythm and metre, suggesting happy movement, dancing and joy, and fine rhymes. There is a note of anticipatory gladness, and the suggestion of the magic of nature.
Best wishes for your entry.

This is a lovely and unique metaphor comparing spring to a romping child. All energy just bursting forth. All joy. Great description and rhymes throughout. I really enjoyed your poem! Julie.

I am delighted you enjoyed my poem and the metaphor, Julie. Spring has finally come romping to where I live.
Comment from Douglas Goff
To say this is refreshing would be putting it mildly. I am so excited for the new season, although we are now having late winter here in northern Michigan.
Perhaps your poem shall usher in a new era of warmth and petals.

It?s so nice to hear the word "refreshing" describe a poem of mine. Thank you, Doug. I hope you see Spring soon.
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
A lovely entry for the Spring writing prompt. Such pretty imagery in the descriptions and it flows wonderfully I love the old-fashioned art work as well. It gives such a nostalgic feel to this piece. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mark Jackson
This is a nice poem about spring and I have given it 5 stars as a nice poem about spring. I am not a judge, so feel free to ignore my opinion but this is a poem about spring and not about how spring makes you feel. The only mention of you is one line I love to see spring rollicking. 1/16 of the poem to me that does not fit the brief. I wish you well in your future writings.

Thank you, Mark, for sharing my poem and your comments. I was hoping the Speaker?s zest for Spring would come through as he describes her arrival.

Like I said I am not a judge so it is only one mans opinion. I am often wrong. I did enjoy it.
