 | Springtime  [E] Acrostic poem about springtime for Elizabeth's Poetry & Short Story Contest March entry.  |
| (4.5)   Happy Earth Day Elizabeth!   I so enjoy writing and reading acrostics and found this one in your port, celebrating Spring!  There is a soft tone to this poem with its clear imagery and personal reflection. The first line struck me as original and drew my attention. I heard the echo of winter in the distance. The poem is pleasant to read aloud with its wonderful soundscape. Your use of some consonance and assonance adds to the flow and ties the work together. For example: "greenest blades of grass sprout up"!  I liked the emphatic "up" as it gives the impression of a fast growth.  Putting yourself into the poem brings me into your pondering. I liked the link to romantic thoughts as well. Young love indeed is iconic for spring. The personification of TIME and MAY is interesting too. The acrostic form is well composed using SPRINGTIME and the key words did not seem forced and the lines were coherent within themselves. Good job!  Thanks for sharing this tribute to Spring and your crafting. I really enjoyed entering your vision. Light on the path as you write on! |
