    Awww. This was so good. It made me smile lol I liked these lines:
    "Songbirds sing old spring songs,
    but they are still so relaxing.
    The fresh scent of new life,
    Awaking from a long winter sleep."

    That was cool. And everything went really well!! 5/5 =]

    "The icy rivers tore under the sun,"
    everything else is in the present tense, did you mean for just this line to be in the past tense?

    I thought that it was very relaxing for this poem not to rhyme, it seemed far more natural, which is what a poem about spring should be.

    To be honest, I felt not one of your better. And it looks like I'm going against the majority so full explanation to follow.

    Though the imagery is very good it doesn't take the reader anywhere along spring's arrival. Each stanza feels like a different version of waking up, which are each excellent for Springs imagery - but I wanted to be taken somewhere during this awakening.

    I really liked the last stanza, I would actually place it first - to say goodbye to Mr Winter.

    Create a story with it, e.g. follow a leaf down the cold waters, let us see and experience what it does, and maybe ending the story like:

    Mother draws the leaf alight
    And lets out her first exhale
    To release in Springs first Seasoned flight
    T'wards Summers' gentle gale.

    Sorry if it's long winded, but I try to be constructive if my votes are not what the poet expects or hopes for.

    I also feel the onus is on me if I'm going to vote anything less than Good, and an explanation is deserved here. (I voted fair)

    And remember this is only just an opinion of one...I could be out of my gourd.

    Cheers and Good writing - DM

    Good job on this poem. It had good imagery and I can't stand winter, so that made the poem even better.

    Very interesting. Due to the unrhymingness, the end of each stanza seemed very abrupt. Not that I'm one to talk, I rarely-if-ever rhyme. I just found it interesting. It fits the topic well, though, Spring is a very harsh season, in a way. The imagery is great, word choices very good. :)

    I like the stanza

    Songbirds sing old spring songs,
    but they are still so relaxing.
    The fresh scent of new life,
    Awaking from a long winter sleep.

    It gives you alot of images in your head.
    Great write. 5/5
    Keep it up i love it

    God Bless
