Comments : Spring's Arrival.

  • 15 years ago

    by Ingrid

    Rain falls kissing each one gently,
    perfume from beautiful flowers escape,
    filling the air with the arrival of spring.

    ^^This was such a beautiful expression: rain kissing the leaves:)

    A much beautiful poem, Tempsy:)

    "Colorful petals stiff from winter's frigid touch,"

    Great adjectives here, it opens the piece up beautifully.

    "sprinkled with bits of fresh fluffy snow,"

    I like "fluffy", it really strikes an image in my mind of snow and how fluffy it is.

    "droop low as they await spring's comfort."

    I loved these lines, I never would have thought of this, petals waiting for the much anticpated spring to arrive.

    "Bright warm sun beams down with light,"

    Not the most unique line but still good.

    "waking shy tulips from a deep rest."

    One of my favorite lines, I like the thought of the sun waking the "shy" tulips up. Describing the tulips that way is brilliant.

    "Their wings spread in pure delight."

    Beautiful work, you need more commenters on this, where are they?

    "Leaves curl their tips with a smile,"

    Again, nice imagery here, you make the reader see another side of nature.

    "no longer shrivled but sturdy,"

    Yes, I love when leaves look like this, stunning.

    "as snow becomes melted and drips."

    Not the strongest line, maybe change to this:

    "as snow softens to droplets", or something more original, just my opinion though.

    "Rain falls kissing each one gently,"

    Place a comma after "falls" for a smoother read. But what is the rain kissing? "each one" is referring to what?

    "perfume from beautiful flowers escape,
    filling the air with the arrival of spring."

    A good ending, satisfying the reader with the very thought.

    4/5 from me, a bit of work can be done but the concept of this was enchanting. Keep it up!
