A very good example of a well-written acrostic, and more significantly, very fluid and enchanting in its language. I love the spring, and this encapsulates the elements that I most enjoy. Re-birth of nature, and a lightening of ones spirit. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jlr, it's been a while since I've been here reading, writing and reviewing work. It's good to see that you're still here writing. Unfortunately I also entered this contest and now I see I have stiff competition. Good job and good luck in the contest!

Spring is my favorite time of year. Everything stars life anew. Your writing speaks of a wonderful time of year when everything gets a new lease on life. You talk like 72 is old. You're just a spring chicken. Believe me, all
the spring has left this chicken. Good work, hang in there.

' Spring Comes ' , is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review.

You are yearning for spring in midwinter and I feel the same as you, and the natural transition from winter to spring seems to be a struggle as winter has a firm grip on the land and sky, but here you made it sounds so easy, love Dolly x

A very nice job. You put into words a hope and belief in the future. Although it is winter now, you express your belief that spring will indeed come again. Great job on your rhymes, as well.

Spring will soon come. The thought of getting near the end of the month, makes it seem better. So am counting the days until we can hear the birds sing again. Like your poem.

An excellent poem for this contest, it should do really well, good luck. I am going to read into a double meaning that you may not have intended. I see the hopefulness of spring as a metaphor that maybe this Covid can be behind us as well. Whether you meant that or not it is very good work!

    Terry, the implication, is subtle, but non less accurate and you are the only one who perceived this. I am impressed!

This is a great entry for the Acrostic Rhyming contest. I like the picture you have chosen and the words you have chosen to describe winter and the anticipation of spring coming.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Your rhyming acrostic is exceptional in every respect--going beyond the prompt requirements. Your descriptions of nature's elements in winter and spring and how they affect our emotions are vivid and moving. Bravo!
