Beautifully penned throughout its perfectly rhymed stanzaic structural format and its loving narrative fancying storyline life's natural integration content.Great work. A suggestion: add "ing" to "fancy". Thank you for sharing.

A very well-written rhyming poem about the joy of Spring when we feel to go outside and enjoy the heat of the sun and find the first flowers blooming and everything seems to start new.

Hi Iza, I like that the flowers are springing... as the old adage says: 'Spring has sprung, the grass is riz... I wonder where 'da flowers is?' I always loved that one, and I can't wait for the Spring to spring out either! Just a few more months to go... yeah, I keep telling myself that. LOL

This upbeat poem, with its cheerful overtones, does remind of "springing" and illustrates that it is indeed a "wonderful time to be". Should make an interesting entry into this contest.

The title of the poem draws the reader.

1st stanza does not rhyme.
1st stanza, line 4 - You get down ( the underlaying of your poem is about a wonderful time- these choices of words create a negative connotation.
In the 1st stanza, line3 - I would drop the when.

A successful poem does not have to rhyme or scan or have certain patterns of line. It does need to paint a picture with carefully chosen words.

Gratefulness to be alive shines through every word. Inclusion of nature and romance--very effective

I loved the rhyme and the rhythm of this poem. I especially liked the suggestion to go dancing and the suggestion of the title. You have a great name and you've chosen an interesting pen name.

I think "flowers springing" works beautifully for the bouncing into life in spring. I find your poem interesting because it doesn't follow any particular rules but it does rhyme and it has a joyful refrain of "What a wonderful time to be."
