Great words written for the contest
The Sun certainly can uplift one in many ways
The feeling of being alive on a beautiful day
The Suns presence can uplift us all.

I enjoyed the brief seconds I spent reading and re-reading this poem. It has the same calming effect every time. This was a delight to read.

I always felt that people hibernate as much as they can during the winter. The sun brings them out.

Well done and good luck.

Keep writing

Oh, I like this little 5-7-5. Your choice of hibernating brings an image of a sleepy bear peeking out of his den in the spring.

Lovely the gems, each words has weight and meaning which makes for a great poem.

Best to you in the contest,
Senyai

Your syllable count is perfect for this 5-7-5 prompt entry, of course. It's rather difficult to mess that up if you possess the slightest inkling of how to count syllables in words. You obviously write poetry so that's pretty much a given.
The fist thing I thought of as I read the word "hibernating" in this was bears, although I'm fairly sure that wasn't your intention. Still, try as I might, I could not get that image out of my head.
One rarely thinks of human beings as hibernating. Resting, napping, or even sleeping, perhaps.

Best of luck to you in the contest.

    Thanks for writing a review for my poem, Dean. I'm sorry you didn't like the little metaphor of how we tend to hibernate during the winter just like a bear, and the sun brings some warmth back into us. Thanks.
reply by Dean Kuch on 10-May-2016
    I didn't say that I didn't like it. You're putting words in my mouth.
    I simply stated that I don't usually associate hibernation with human beings, that's all, nothing more.
    Take care.

    OH, sorry! It sure sounded like you didn't like the use of the word and it made the poem unenjoyable for you as the reader. Didn't think I put words into your pen at all! Take care to you as well.

    Okay.

It's wonderful what a bit of warmth and sunshine can do! Especially after a long winter's hibernation. Suddenly Spring is in the air and it's time to be up and doing!

This was a really good 5-7-5 for the writing prompt! These, to me, are some of the more difficult to write in that you have to tell a story in only 3 lines. You did this extremely well. Oh how I love spring time!! Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing! xoLeslie

This is a well written poem with a nice message about the arrival of spring. Good use of syllables, nice flow. I especially like "On my hibernating face", very unique phrase. Good luck with the contest.

Hello, anonymous :)

Good job with the syllable count. The font is easy to read but the color and no picture is dull. To me, a good presentation is as important as the poem. But that is just my opinion and it doesn't affect my rating.

I like the theme. Spring does that to plants and people, at least most people. Good job!
