Hello, Elizabeth!

INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW:

I enjoyed reading your springtime poem today. It made me feel eager for next spring

Your writing kept me riveted and I read straight through to the end.



MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK:

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary month! I hope you enjoy this review as a celebration of your time here and find the review uplifting and encouraging.

I could totally relate to this "Springtime" poem of yours. It is my favorite season. I don't think we have many peach blossoms here, but we have cherry blossoms, apple blossoms, and almond blossoms and I love them all. I imagine I would love peach blossoms just as much. I wondered if peach blossoms smell at all like peaches? Though I don't think cherry blossoms smell at all of cherries and don't recall the smell of apple or almond blossoms.

I suspect that most people love the spring season so your poem could have wide appeal. I certainly enjoyed reading it.

My favorite line was: "Snow fades into pleasant memory." We haven't had snow yet this year, but it's likely on the way. We're still in autumn here, and winter does tend to follow. I love that time in spring though, when all the new life is shining and there's no more chance of snow or frost.

I thought you did a great job with the Acrostic form. It felt like a natural free-verse poem and I even forgot it was an acrostic while in the midst of reading it.

I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical mistakes (or mistakes of any kind) in your "Springtime" poem.

I thought the genres you selected were appropriate for this poem of yours. If you wanted to add a third (we are allowed three here), you could potentially add "experience" or "biographical," or another appropriate one.


IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER:
In the spirit of helpfulness, I have one little suggestion to make your piece stronger. If you're interested in some constructive criticism, read on. But if you aren't, no worries. Just know that I enjoyed your piece and move on to the next section.

Still reading? You're brave! Yay for you!

I would just recommend making the first letter of each line stand out somehow, perhaps with bold or a slightly larger font than the other letters. Then the "Springtime" word the poem forms would pop out more for the reader. It's certainly not required for the form. I just find it to be nicer. I didn't do that at first, but now I do and readers have commented that they appreciate it.

As with any review, please take what serves you and release or ignore what doesn't.


CONCLUSION:
I enjoyed reading your "Springtime" poem, and wish you a happy season, wherever you are. If you're in the southern hemisphere, it's actually spring now, I think. Such a lovely time of year.

Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, heart, experiences, and writing with the Writing.Com community!

Once again, happy anniversary month! I hope the year ahead is filled with blessings and joy for you!

May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance!
