179. Spring Poem by Jaden Knight

Your use of the Ballad stanza provides the ideal format for this celebration of spring. And you include an element of self-discovery in it. Not only are identifying the things of the world you love - warm weather, new green life, new animal life, no more inconvenient weather; you also create a complex image at the end identifying yourself with the forces of nature, you are a natural things like all the things you celebrated in the poem. B-U-T I live along the Mississippi River, I look forward to spring too, but I know it means X-number of people will be flooded out of their homes and the tornado season begins with spring. My point is nature is not just the benign force that produces the sweet wonders in your celebration. Do you have space in your poem for those other realities that brings tears and loss not smiles and joy? But I DO like your poem!

i like the uplifting mood of this one, Profanisaurus! may your roots always find fertile ground and your leaves be bountiful and beautiful! ! ! i wonder what your favourite/favorite season is; i'll bet it ain't winter! have a craze as day. :) bri p.s. GREAT rhyming and flow here. it is not easy picking just two lines as favourites here, but how about these? when all the hibernators awaken and the birds return to sing................could it be because i love birds? to MyPoemList it goesssssssss.
