Post a CommentThis flowed very well.
Each word is a poem to itself, the contrast was a master stroke, and very spring like, wonderful poem!
Really nicely done. I can't wait for spring to get here. I like the contrasting or conflicting elements of the "Creative, destructive" line also. It has a kiss me kill me flavor to it. &)

very well done
