A nice entry to the prompt. The poem goes very nicely with the picture. I am ready for that spring splash. As I get older, the winters seem to get longer.

This piece does a great job painting a picture for spring. I can just imagine seeing the wildflowers blooming. Hopefully we'll get to that point in the year soon.

Excellent charming write. The third stanza is my favourite. You could be describing the scene outside my home on this rainy day.

Note a couple of spag in the final stanza

completes - complete

morn' - morn

Best of luck in the prompt, dear mystery writer

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

Beautiful image, and as beautiful words chosen for this poem. I like that both stanzas begin with the same word, and the 5-7-5 meter continues throughout the poem. Well done, and an enjoyable moment in my day.

The arrival of Spring and the gallery of splendid flowers that accompany her are always a joy to behold. As my senses thrill at the explosion of colors and scents, I am transported into a joyous world of passionate enjoyment.

I love this poem and so timely with spring knocking on the door. The photos is beautiful and at first glance I thought it was an impressionist painting. Your descriptive words drew me into your writing.

So many different colours and flowers in the picture you have chosen. Your stacked poem is very well written, describing the splendour of spring and how we look forward to it. I like the use of the word "kaleidoscope" to describe the picture.
