Not only have you written a beautiful tribute to spring, you're teaching us about the hill and dale format. It's lovely and lyrical. I enjoyed this.

I like the way you played around with the rhythms of the lines here, and it created some interesting, musical elements in the poem. It reminded me very much of the poetry of John Donne. It's nice to hear stuff like that now and again, very pleasing to the ear, and you had some wonderful pastoral images to go along with it. estory

Thank you very much, estory, for your kind praise of "Sweet Song of Summer." Indeed it was fun to play around with the rhythms here. So glad it was pleasing to your ear.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Sweet Song of Spring, presented as a Hill and Dale trio of stanzas, fully mines this sparkling image representing the majestic arrival of Spring. This is in contrast to where I am, 'welcoming' Winter.

We had our first snowfall today, so the topic of my poem--Spring--seems very foreign to me, too. Many thanks for sharing "Sweet Song of Spring." Rod

This poem is delicate and yet speaks out strongly about how people should feel during this season of the year. You have a well deserved win here, Rod. I congratulate you.

Comment from JanPerry
I don't care what a poem layout is called. If it works, it works.
I love the wording. It's uplifting. What's a cantile? You could explain in the notes, so we don't have to run to the dictionary.
A good entry it should fair well.
