This monorhyme poem, Springtime Show, has the proper formatting and gives the readers hope that spring is really here at last. Of course, I look out the window and there's a blizzard happening.

    Here as well! We just got 5 inches of heavy wet snow. Minnesota, am I right? Thanks for reading my poem. :)

I found this poem utterly delightful. I liked the theme and thought the word choices were excellent, even though restricted by the main rule of monorhyme. The meter was also excellent and added to the pleasing quality of this poem. Best of luck in the contest. I think this will be a vote-getter for sure.

A lovely poem about the many aspects of Spring which are meaningful, both from the past and in the present. Your rhyme flows smoothly throughout. Best wishes for your entry.

This is a fabulous monorhyme poem. Sure you repeat some end rhymes but nothing is forced and the poem makes perfect sense in its depiction of the multifarious joys of spring.

Good luck in the voting booth.

Stay safe and blessed, Julia

Your ten-syllable lines paint a beautiful picture of Spring approaching, and fishing and gardening activities being undertaken. I can relate to your words about your Mom making you put on a dress - I was a tomboy too, plus we had lilac bushes.
Your poem is full of the life that Spring brings, plus its emotional impact of calming and uplifting.

Your poem flowed so well that I didn't even notice the rhyme scheme. Some poets trip over this. Kudos to you! Thanks for sharing this ode to Spring with us here. Keep up the good work.

As an excited gardener, this poem made me ache for true spring and gave me hope that the rain and wind will eventually stop. Well done and kudos on this one!
