Your minute contest poem is in good form. I enjoyed reading it. The image choice pairs nicely with your words. Your words paint a great image of spring waiting in the wings as winter finally leaves.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Your words remind me of the daffodil stems popping up in my yard. "Repeats of nature nurture me" is a great line that is so true, the repeating return of nature does indeed nurture me. Excellent poetic form and use of words.

Oh, that's a beautiful Minute poem. I love your image of crocuses breaking through snow. I remember them in my garden - I called them messengers of spring!

Your visuals are so good that I could almost see those buds in the warm sun. Great imagery and choice of artwork.

Good luck in the contest.

JLR,
Thisnicely written minute poem shows how hardy some plants are and that gives us hope that we can live through the coming Winter. This picture can also work with the changing from Winter to Spring with those flowers that sprout even through the last of the snow.
Keep writing and stay heatlhy
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

Hello JLR,
It's a nice piece of poetry meeting the desired norms.
Lucid as well as perfectly matching the theme wording.
Smooth flow with lovely rhyming scheme.
You have beautifully depicted the arrival of Spring and its pleasant side effects.
The last stanza is particularly noteworthy.
Good Luck in the contest!

New life huddles beneath the carpet of snow, waiting, waiting for time to show. Sun, life-giver shines through the clouds, encouraging the green to grow. Well done. K xx
