A very well-written lyrical poem about the first rain of Spring that brings freshness in thehe air and new life is found everywhere in the plants and animal world.

    Thank you Sandra! We have a spring rain today but the birds were singing in full chorus just before! Such a peace amid such worldly chaos. xoxo

It is so welcoming to hear the birds in the morning. They are a sure sign that spring is here. We also see buds on the trees that looked so bare during winter. I can't wait to see the spring flowers. I've seen some daffodils where I live. Nice imagery of the blades of grass weaving a carpet. Excellent work with your rhyme. judi

    You're very welcome. Maybe it will mean a slowdown in the spread of coronavirus. judi

I really liked reading your poem. In fact, I enjoy reading all of your poems. I especially , liked the line, "returning is the life hidden." It sounds really professional. Once again, I really enjoyed reading your poem! xoxo

The ba sound is very prominent in this lovely rhyming poem. Love it!
One night I was trying to write a poem and I really struggled because as I wrote it, a tune formed and played in my head. The first stanza seemed to pick out the tune, but I had never experienced that before. I have written songs before years ago, but this was different. The tune would not let me alone. Try to write something when that tune insists on its own way. Has this ever happened to you?

    Thank you and that?s funny because sometimes it does happen and I mean I can here all instruments playing their part, but no words flow, only the music. Hmmm... even when I write lyrically, no tune comes with it. It?s like either or, and I can?t write music so that is lost inside as tomorrow I?ll never remember exactly how it went! Ugh! xoxo

Your spring poem gives us cheery thoughts when we read it. Like your poem's image. Lily of the valley is a favorite spring flower around here; also the blue bell, violets.

If we take the time to really look, we can see that life is going on as usual, despite the distressing conditions surrounding us. Nothing is stopping the birds, the bees, the flowers and trees from taking care of business. We should embrace life as well...the little things.

A sweet rhyming poem about the forthcoming spring.

On stanza two you have used a feminine ending "barren" on line 2 this needs to be matched up with line 4.

These are just suggestions to show you feminine endings Diana:

"from branches once (so) barren;"

"green carpets now will happen"

Also stanza three, to keep the meter here, this line needs to read:

"returning is life hidden" which is one syllable short, but that is okay because your previous feminine ending line has the extra syllable, so your poem will flow perfectly.

This line then needs to match up for the sake of meter:

"The iris soon shows purple"

I hope you understand me Diana, I want to help. Love Dolly x

So upbeat in view of what is surrounding our world right now. Spring brings hope and the world is hungry for it. This was a beautiful thing to read this very early morning and it is raining gently here.
Lovely!
