These stanzas, especially the final one, simply renew and invigorate the reader, serving as a reminder of the delights of Spring about to burst forth - Spring spreads its colorful tapestry

Hello Mystery Writer!

You have encapsulated my feeling regarding the approach of spring as well! Delightful imagery with rhythmical lines that flow well.

A few edits to consider:
1. But I know it's there, so brimming with fish, (;)
I am called by my friends, "fishing king". ("Fishing King.")

2. Soon, flowers burst forth with colors so bright,
the trees dress in their gown's (gowns) of green
The water and sky sport lovely blue shades, (;)
birds return with their songs so serene.

3. I know that spring's not too far behind,
is that a sweet Robin *robin" that's calling?

Thank you for sharing!
C'mon spring!

Very pretty poem. Makes me long for spring. It's very like the kind of poem County Woman started buying for their back cover around 2 years ago. You might check out that magazine if it's still being published and I rather sure it is. Their rules are rather specific but the pay is good. Best of luck.

As I was reading your poem, I felt the dancing of spring blossoms. The buds are creeping through the snow, pushing the snow away so the tulip's can break through the harden crest of ground.

Yup, if you close your eyes, thhose beautiful ice flowers can be spring apple flowers:"My fervor for spring will never abate,
as outside the snowflakes keep falling.
I know that spring's not too far behind,
is that a sweet Robin that's calling?" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

On this cold January day, your poem paints a beautiful picture of spring, and puts a longing in our hearts to see it come quickly. Very well written, rhyming is great and if flows smoothly.

What a delightful poem about spring. May I offer a couple of pointers: Spring is not a proper noun and is no capitalized unless it begins a sentence). Maybe a comma: "Mother Nature will (,) with her first blush..." I live in a part of Canada where the Robins stick around in winter, if we feed them, so when the Robin calls we love it, as I love your beautiful images and hopeful message.
