A lovely song to celebrate the arrival of Spring. Rhyming where ever rhyming words were available, which makes it a bit forced, but it is a good entry for this contest
I wish you the best of luck!

    Dear Marjon, Thank you for your compliments, review, and comment about forced rhyme. I was not aware that I was "force-rhyming' but I will go in and look at it again. Another reviewer also mentioned "force-rhyming" to me regarding this poem.

I like the image of March winds that feel like bee's sting. Rhyme and rhythm seem somewhat forced--perhaps you can tweak. Some of the phrases are common and/or redundant (e.g. joy and bliss; heart sing; gentle kiss)--perhaps freshen them up. Creative juxtaposition: re winds hot and cold--never thought of it that way--also: invisible treasure.
Cheers. LIZ

I do so love all the seasons but possibly I love spring best. It's when everything in life awakens and has the feel of starting anew on a clean slate. The poem describes it perfectly and the artwork works well too.
Best of luck to you with this piece.
