My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines. THE POEM A poem dedicated to those flowers that pop out during spring time. WHAT I LIKED I liked how each flower (crocuses, daffodils, tulips, hyacinth) are highlighted in their own stanzas. STRUCTURE This is free form poem. The 2nd and 4th lines rythme in each stanza. 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: "Dancing in the sunshine, on a windy spring day," It's a nice, easy description that I can imagine, but, I think because it is so easy, I can put myself in a memory of a windy spring day and feel the sunshine on my face. It gives the poem depth. PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS The opening engages the reader, putting them in the moment, and keeps them reading. The title fits the poem well. Nice expression.
