    Hi Precious, I have written painful or upsetting poems, but the thing I like best is bringing serenity, joy, scenic wonder and laughter to the reader. I like painting a scene in your mind's eye so you have your own special vision. I'm so glad this poem did that for you. Thanks for the wonderful review!

Hello :)
I really enjoyed reading your lovely lilting poem.
The rhyme and meter are great and the imagery is beautiful.
There's a couple of lines that I particularly admire -
'So spry green sprouts abound' - I love the alliteration and the way this line sounds aloud.
'With lady frogs so fair' - this is just a lovely touch - that female frogs can be ladies, just as easily as male ones can be princes!
I really like how you start and end your poem with a kiss :)
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Debra :)

For consideration - I noticed a typo: 'And birds begin to buld (build) their nests'

Not many writers can write poems as smooth and as articulate in expression as this work, so I figure that I should know who it is, but don't quite. But a classical ballad style poem in 8686 stanzas with equally classic abcb rhyming, well dine, easy and enjoyable read, well done, beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Hi Roy, Thought I'd drop in and solve the mystery of who wrote this poem. I just cam back to Fan Story and in this past week submitted my first two poems of the year. The first poem was, "The Year We Won't Forget" about Covid-19. The second poem was this one, "Springs's Dewdrop Kiss". You raved about both of them in your reviews. :o)When you reviewed this poem, you thought my writing was familiar, but you just couldn't put you finger on who did the writing! The reason you felt that way was because, you had just reviewed, "The Year We Won't Forget" the day before. In my reply I stated, that you did know me... but only slightly! That"s the reason my writing seemed so familiar to you. :o) I'm known as Helvi2 here. Thank you so much for both your lovely reviews they meant a lot! Helvi aka Nancy

A wonderfully descriptive piece that describes - " Spring's Dewdrop Kiss". The composition and presentation of the poem is effective, making it an enjoyable read.

Note: I noticed two minor typos- halfway thru stanza 2...Fnd is missing an i and in stanza 3, there should be their.

    Hi Sharon, After having trouble with constant double spacing I guess I made some mistakes I didn't see. Thanks for pointing them out and for the wonderful review! :o) Helvi
