I always pray to live 'in' one more Spring, one more time again. I felt it's approach in your acrostic and gave thanks for same. The older I get, the less thrill I feel for winter. Truly enjoyed! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Janice, I have a preference for acrostics that don't read like lists and yours has a marvelous flow to it. If I were judging, this is just the type of acrostic I'd like to see. Enjoyed very much! (From what I've seen, Brian appears to enjoy nature poems like yours.) Best wishes, Carolyn

Great job, Janice. One thing I notice with Brian. He did a blog one time about not liking bold print to show a poem is acrostic. I hope you place. I hope he would truly not disregard a poem over something like that.

I like them, too. Good thing he is old enough that his quirks won't hurt him. Bolding the word is just good sense for clarity. Janice - you gotta be your own quirks! However, Andrea is very sweet and helpful - I love her!

Judges all have their quirks. It takes time to recognize them. I would actually like the bolding just as you have it!
