A waterlily anticipates blooming.
WHAT I LIKED
I liked the progression of the poem and how it built anticipation for our waterlily.
STRUCTURE
This is free form poem.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read and has a nice flow when read out loud.
DESCRIPTIONS
I liked: "In the thaw mud stirs and my heart bobs. to sunlight, " This is a great description that put the reader in the moment. The use of 'heart bobs' stirs emotion, has the reader anticipates what might come next. Well done.
PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS
The opening engages the reader, and keeps them reading, wanting to find out more. I really liked the reverent expression for nature in this poem, following cycles of life, staring in winter to a summer bloom. The title fits the poem well. Nice, succinct expression.
If anything I might check the links and the invalid item as I don't think they're all good more.
