SPRING IS COMING SOON

Songbirds tell us all good morning and
Plants bloom diverse buds most stunning,
Reminding us newness is coming.
Idle no more, grass grows its carpet -
Nudging bare feet to wiggle rub it and 
Giggle from the happiness of it.

Inside life ends, doors and windows open
So senses may all be reawoken.

Company is sought for barbecues
On the first free day warmth queues.
Minds and hearts are light with promise
In air of gentle, honest solace.
Nature revels in her recital,
Glowing for all with charmed arrival.

Sunshine breaks any drab and dull routine
Once she shines upon the living scene.
Offering all the promise of rebirth,
New comes Spring’s joy to halo our earth.

This is really cool. You rhymed it like she wanted but with different syllable length lines, much like a quintain type poem. Very nicely done and should do well in the contest! ARe there any recent poems you wish I would read, Caycay? Let me know for next time I am here!

Ok, ..acrostics are hard enough using good enjambment, however, to attempt end rhyme was always going to be a battle between technical difficulty of format, versus content , I feel you compromised too much flow for the rhyme, it's interesting but a little sterile in its overuse of key words for words sake, but others may say differently..Ian.xxx
