Hi Evelyn, I really enjoyed your blog this week and your depiction of Spring. You use lots of imagery to paint the picture of a beautiful Spring day and by reading this, I can imagine the sensations that Spring instills. I love the way that you personify nature, such as “the sun peeping a smile over the bushes” as it brings a positive and happy feel to your poem, perfectly capturing the feelings a nice Spring day can evoke. You have used the first line of Hopkin’s poem really well, my only recommendation is to also experiment with the language techniques he uses, including rhyme, alliteration, and much more.
