June, simply elegant in style, form and message! A perfect fifth line transition, without disrupting the clear ABCD pattern. Always a personal pleasure to read your very well developed poetry. Good Success in the contest.

A very well-written ABC poem about winter that is creeping in but believe that all will be great when Spring comes to bring new life to blooms and fields covered in the snow for now.

CONGRATS ON YOUR RECOGNITION! Cheers. LIZ

I hadn't realized this was ABCD--doesn't sound stilted or forced!--lovely and elegant imagery--kissed by warmth of spring---cherish and nourish. Good luck!

This is a lovely ABC poem. It now only applies to the knowledge that Spring will come again with the changing season but it could apply to the darkness we feel now because of the pandemic. It too will eventually pass and life will be good again.

Very nice ABC poem. It certainly is that time of year that we need to believe there is something on the far side of winter. I especially liked "Cherish and nurture that seed of hope." Thank you for sharing!

Nice ABC poem, June. I am hoping this winter will be mild and short in duration. During some winters I've felt a cold loneliness. Thank you for your reminder that Spring will return as it does, year after years the photo you've chosen is beautiful.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Cindy.
I love your poetry, June. It's so orininal!

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hello June!
Now, you knew I would love this poetic offering! It resonates deeply with me for form and message - but mostly for message as I struggle with this format, and I wait each spring for the beauty I planted in the fall to bloom!
Kudos!

Thank you for sharing!

Very nice abc poem
For the contest. Nice choice of words. Deep under snow -flowers will bloom again. When kissed by the warmth of spring. Lovely photo.
