Hello Yvette. I could never comment on a Joseph's star style because until I saw this, I had no idea what it was.

This reads very well and I like the verse a lot. It's a very well done poem and I expect it is a winner.

Well done.

First, I was transported by the picture capturing spring and next, I enjoyed your format. I could hear the birds' "chorus" and admired your use of personification in the final stanza. Cheers and best wishes in the contest- Joan

Yvette, I enjoyed reading this creative writing and a new style that I haven't seen. We can use all the encouragement we can get to look forward to spring and think about positive things. Have a great day! Bill

What a glorious and inspiring poem! Spring is the best, with all the birds and animals about, flowers blooming, children riding bikes, and the incredible weather. Very nice!

The dinner, the wonderful winner in my eyes, dear poetress. This is so lovely and so needed this day. Spring usually arrives in my heart long before the day. A fine tribute and celebration. Sending you my best today as always,
Sal xoxo

OK! I'm in! I want to dance and sing and feel the Spring's warmth!...Sigh, but here in Wisconsin...it's still cold, muggy sometimes rain, sometimes snow! BUT, loving your poem! Nicely done and presented. :-)

    Thank you so much, Susan -- and I am so sorry I'm so far behind! I apologize for this 'more cut/paste than personal response', but if I don't do something to try to get my 'head above water' I never will!! ;) :) This online education thing is going to make me crazy! :) But I've only got two more weeks worth of prep (I'm operating about 2 weeks ahead in my preps: YouTube, Assignments, Resources, Etc -- yes! I'm on YouTube! lol!) to be done for the school year and then I'll just have to keep up with their weekly submittals/grading/returning.... but UGH!! ;) Thanx for your patience while I 'get there' -- take care of you and COME ON MAY 10th!! :) ;) Yvette

Nice job with the meter and juxtaposition of the long and short lines to produce this rhythm of bursts of dance and song. I liked the underlying of feeling of celebrating the possibilities of spring, the fresh air, the colors, the warmth of the sunlight that beckons you outdoors. something to think about as we are all in stay at home orders. But you can still enjoy your garden....estory

You have effectively conformed to the writing prompt format with this pleasant Spring theme. Unfortunately, I'm dancing with myself, too bad the damned bars aren't open.
Very well executed overall.

    Aaaahhh, but the liquor stores are, right? Get some frozen lemonade at the grocery and break out the blender -- let me know when it's time to start the 'poems from the pub' and I'll match ya one for one!! ;) :) Thank you for your review, RM -- always so good to hear from you!! ;) Take care! ;) Yvette
