Rating: 4.5

Season of mist and mellow fruit,
Of blossom and scented air.
Bird song and busy bee,
seem to inhabit everywhere

reading this makes you indeed feel as if you are in that garden, and not the one outside my door that the rain is pouring down into

Never mind the polish! I like it in its raw and natural state. This is an uplifting poem, David. Brings a ray of sunshine to our miserable British winter. I can almost hear those bees..... Love, Fran xxx

A fresh and richly evocative portrait. A perfect antidote for a grey winter's day. jim

Dear David, I can sense the 'aroma' of the whole scene, its strange how evocative the hints of scent can be. Best Regards David.

I really like the following couplet: 'Grass green horizon, velvet blue morning sky.' Lovely colorful imagery; I can see it well. You need to remove the period in S1, L1 to wrap around to L2. You need to add a period in the last line after 'fun.' Remember: If you are going to use punctuation, you must be consistent throughout. These are probably all typos, but worth a reminder to polish, polish, polish. Rarely does a poem work at first writing. My last submission, 'Accused' took me an entire day to write and it still needs work. This is a very vivid poem, David, and I enjoyed it very much. I woul like to see a polished version. alicia
