Greetings from I Write 2024!

What a nice poem, carefully structured with opposing symmetry to express your theme of longing for the clean countryside where you have such fond memories of springtime, as contrasted with the stark current reality of living in an enormous grubby city where spring means less than nothing.

I love the simple descriptions of nature that bring the poem to life and express your affection for what you had in Oklahoma. Your rhymes are few and subtle, adding the graceful style of free verse that is quite easy to read and flows well. The lovely thing about poetry is how one can express such elegant sentiments in so few words, and it becomes something memorable and artistic.

As a casual poet, I have nothing to criticize here. I view poetry as a highly subjective art form, where one has the freedom to express one’s deepest feelings in any way they would like. I don’t have any authority to advise on structure or form, because I’m quite honestly too lazy to bother with counting syllables and measuring meter, and I hardly know the difference between a villanelle and a sonnet. But I know a good poem when I see one.

You’ve formatted it nicely, with large clear font and proper context added in a drop note.


Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *Smile* *Heartg*
