Notes About The Poem

Spring Forward

In spring time fresh flowers are rising
New lambs in the fields – not surprising
In every hedgerow and tree
Lush beauty will surround me
It’s heaven; there is no disguising

Very good. You know, I have replied to all of your comments on my poems, but Soup hasn't notified you. I have commented on some of yours too.

Thanks Alice - there has been a glitch that now seems to have been rectified - I do always read the comments people make back to me and sometimes respond back so it has been irritating not to be able to read them recently. i will bob by your poems and see what you have put:-) Hugs Jan xx

Hi Nija Naj you have done well with this limerick, looks nigh on perfect for the competition. You are lucky though I checked with some friends in Italy and the states they are still in full winter mode. Comments seem to have been fixed also as i just reeived an email from the site. Enjoy your spring day, may it cheer your heart. love shane xxx
