Your action verb "struts" helps set the scene with Spring's confident entry. Dandelions in tousled hair conjures up a memorable image. Your poem is a delight - I'm pleased it got lots of votes.

Dandelions--great flowers.
They make a healthful tea.
Young green dandelion leaves, WITHOUT pesticides of course, are vitamin-filled additions to salads.
Tousled hair is a great image.

This work has reached the exceptional level

What a grand word picture! And so true!!

I think you have met the requirements of this contest: Write a poem for spring. You can not use the words: flower, buds, blossoms, rain, new.

Best of luck with the Poem for Spring writing contest.

This is a nice entry for this word restricted contest. Hopefully the FS administrators will not consider your dandelions as a 'flower' word. It would shameful if they did!

I am a big fan of centered text lines for short verses. You also chose a good illustration and colors to accompany your words. In advanced editor mode, consider using a serif font. IMHO it is easier to read.

Best wishes in the voting.

Good work! You were able to convey the topic staying within the guidelines of what words you could(or couldn't) use! The graphic was perfect for this!

Well, you didn't use the word flower. I like the way you skirted around the rules and still 'painted' the picture. Good personification of spring as mother Earth, the grass as her hair and the Dandelions a flower in it.

Well done. Good entry
