A great description of the soil's transition from frozen to lively as the seasons shange from winter to spring. Vivid language brings these changes to life: "As frost draws ragged razors through raw air".

As frost draws ragged razors through raw air, << If they gave an award for "Best line of the month" this would win first prize!!!

What a wonderful ode to spring and life... of ALL kinds, because the creepy crawlies are necessary to plant life and thus for our own. :)

Phill your poem "Pause" is an excellent Blank verse poem and it has a lot of superb alliteration in it as well. An absolutely splendid piece.

Very powerful imagery. The style is good and easy to digest. Altogether a damn good read. Well done and thanks for sharing. The fact that you chose not to use artwork, strengthens the piece. Well done again.

    Hello
    Phew! Thanks for that. I prefer not to have pictures as I think that limits the reader's imagination - the words should do it really...but that is just a personal choice.
    Thanks you for your kindness.
    Cheers
