Thanks for the headsup! I copied the extra line by mistake from another poem I was working on. I appreciate your insights and generous rating!

I really like this poem you submitted for the ABC contest; however, I fear you may be disqualified because you have submitted a six-line poem instead of the requisite five lines. I believe you could eliminate your last line and still have a great entry for this contest. Good luck.

How pretty, June. I enjoyed the puff of springtime that you blew my way... on this chilly Autumn day.. :). You did a lovely job in crafting this verse for the ABC prompt. I wish you luck.

Thank you! We already had a few inches of snow as I was writing this!

I enjoyed your 5-line ABC Poem. Your description of the repeating seasons is very effective. You make us believe "in the seasons of change" and the "kiss of spring". The title and picture are mesmerizing. Cheers- Joan

What a wonderful ABC poem. Amazing imagery and visuals; I adored your presentation and artwork.
Flowers yearn for the kiss of spring
That was my favorite line.
Good luck in the contest.

Most welcome
Comment from Cynthia Adams1
I was particularly drawn by your choice in artwork.
This ABC format is interesting. (Every time I log-on this site, it seems there is yet another format for poems. It's cool. Who would have thought?)
This poem works well I think.
I particularly like the second and fifth lines. The second line is strong and true. The last line is hopeful and a really nice image.
Job well-done.

I love that the final line is a perfect match for Moonwillow's fabulous artwork. It takes the poem from the harsh trials of the winter season to the promise of life renewed and beautiful.
As such it's a wonderful analogy for faith. It's astonishing isn't it that no matter the knowledge that spring will come again we dread the onset of winter. Likewise no matter how many times God's grace has sustained us, we dread the trials that are part of life.
Your lovely uplifting ABC write is a godsend for me, and for our suffering world, during difficult times

Hello, June,
Beautiful poem for the ABC Poetry Contest. I love the imagery of nature. Winter follows Autumn, Autumn follows spring...in seasons and in life. I hope spring will be better for us.
