Hi, Annie. this is beautiful poetry and is worthy of six golden stars, but alas, I have none left for this week. My favorite is spring because of the rebirth ofd everything including my short-lived beautiful lilacs. Mmmmm.

"My favorite time of year is Spring
red Robins sing their song.
Gray morning Doves are apt to bring
their mournful, cries along."

Bravo! Great job.

    So sorry that lilacs are so short lived as they are my absolute favorite, favorite flower. Thanks for reviewing. Have a safe and happy weekend.

Hello,

I like Gynt' s poem form. Spring is a beautiful season. I love spring and fall because I don't like hot weather.

Good job.

You have written a lovely pantygynt here rather than an awdl gynt because you have missed all the cross rhymes. They are shown on the original diagram but we now have a thread there which gives a colour chart to make it easier. If you want to rework it I would be happy to rereview and upgrade because once all the rules are met you have an excellent [poem here.

Second review. The easiest way to do this is for me to reprint the whole of your poem here and I will check it line by line. We are very nearly there. One recurring error which is not really your fault although in the original rhyme scheme it is marked correctly. See below for details. And one additional error in the last line of all. Sort these and I will upgrade. There is no point in leaving it because when the committee check for compliance they will DQ if it doesn't comply.

The snows of winter quickly melt. check
Small creeks soon belt out sound. check
Warm rays of sun are often felt check
while Springtime's clock is wound. The second syllable (Spring) should rhyme with felt in the previous line. Unfortunately this rhyme was accidentally omitted from the colour coding.

The butterfly and buzzing bee check
will soon be flitting tree to tree; check
their quest, a pollinating spree. check

To watch keeps me spell bound. check

My favorite time of year is Spring check
red Robins sing their song. check
Gray morning Doves are apt to bring check
their mournful, cries along. Same problem here mourn to rhyme with bring.

The Crocus and the Tulip shy check
push through the snow and by and by check
their vibrant colors catch the eye check

and nature's sigh is strong. check

How beautifully the seasons pass check
They never sass or rest. check
Each season has a touch of class check
enchanting man with zest. and again chant/class


While every person likes to cruise check
their favorite season's wondrous hues check
no matter whether browns or blues check

I still choose Springtime's best. Spring here needs to rhyme with blues. You got thid right in the previous cycles.

    Thank you so much for the heads up. I did not pick up on the cross rhymes at all. Must be the left over anesthesia from surgery. Just kidding but it did a number on me. I now have a challenge which makes life worth it and that is what this is all about anyway. I love this site! Thanks for not just passing me by, but pointing me in the right direction. I learn this way and it is so exciting.

    At your leisure please re-review just for the sake of my knowing I got it right. Thanks. What is another style that would be a challenge that you could suggest. You seem well informed and I would love suggestions.

A very well-written Awdl Gynt poem. Spring is always welcomed after a cold and icy winter. The sun shines warmer and the snow melts quickly. A season of color and new life starts.

Getting late. I'm sleepy. Here's a work, some quatrains and tercets and stray lines, with a form name I can't pronounce. Do it rhyme? Aye.
Got sound images? Uh-huh. Spags? Nah, not that I can tell. Fivers.

I would have to agree with you on the season favorite. Your poem touches on the new life and buzzing of anticipation of the renewal Spring brings. Your rhyming choices are excellent and remind us all of the wonder of Spring, especially in some regions, following a hard freeze. Life returns...Well done.

Spring is refreshing- new life, new hope and the thought of winter behind us.

Your poem rhymes well.

Good luck with your poem.

I loved your poem! Felt it as I read it! Bouncy with rhyme as it told of your love for spring with all its wonders. I especially liked the last verse with the special rhyme of the colors of spring. Very well written.
