Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

Yes an interesting seasonal focused approach to the poetic theme of Senses reminding us of the sheer richness of aroma provided by Mother Nature - nice pic

Hello, nice to see you at FS today. Your poem has some lovely imagery that you use to describe the seasons through your senses. It flowed well and your publishing choices were very attractive. I enjoyed this verse's simplicity, it's not overworked with the life squeezed out of it, lol. Simplicity is the essence of good design in the fashion industry, and I think the same applies to writing. Nicely done.

I have no suggestion for improvement and would recommend your writing to other readers for review, cheers, Eve.

Your poem does a fine job of bringing to mind memories of each season. I am unhappy to be reminded of winter. I especially like the scents you used describing spring and summer. Rod

    Thanks for the review. Yeah, winter...
    Power is off in Quebec.
    Hunkering down with big fire, warm blankets, DVDs and King Pao chicken. May as well have fun. Cheers.

I'm smelling snow today. I can't wait for spring and lilacs. I actually don't mind the smell of snow, I just don't like driving in it. Love the picture. Best of luck in the contest.

Lovely! You fitted the poem to the prompt admirably and using scent is a somewhat "different" way of using senses. I was fascinated by the scent of snow, as if hardly ever snows here.
