Dear Mystery Writer,
I enjoyed this post a lot! I like the references to fairy tales we are all so familiar with and the clock striking midnight is a perfect analogy to the disappearance of the season. This was lovely!
When the editor won't accept my apostrophes, I usually use a star/asterick. (over the number 8). Thanks!

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
There is no other word that means so much to all. Your Sonnet is a mirror of our minds. I love the way you have used it as a metaphor and the words you've chosen are sterling. The beauty is succinct in the photo.

Comment from Anne Johnston
A well written poem about Spring, with all its splendour that only lasts for a short time. I like the way you ended:
"No, Spring's allure won't fade though we grow old,
for memories of youth are stored like gold."

This is beautifully penned and the artwork a wonderful choice. I wouldn't worry much about the apostrophe in the title. The poem is eloquent, flows, has what it takes to be a winner. The overall effect is stunning and wonderful to read!

Comment from Wendy G
I like this because, yes, although spring is greatly longed for, and desired, she cannot last, and the memories must be held. I like the comparison with Cinderella, her arrival, and her need to rush away at the appointed hour. That is very creative and imaginative.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Our memories serve to remind us of such wonderful youthful days as spring brings new life with fresh buds. I feel rejuvenated every time I see the spring arrive and I am hopeful this year will be the best spring ever. A fine sonnet, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from tfawcus
A charming sonnet about spring, both its loveliness and its brevity. A sharp and definite turning point in the third and a reflective closing couplet.
If you type ampersand hash 39 in place of the apostrophe in your title, hey presto! I think you will find a little html magic has occurred!
