I liked the second stanza a lot with the sense of an orchestra: A symphony of beaks tunes up To a metronome of sun and moon And the year’s new wind conducts. The third stanza is very strong as well as if new life suddenly appears with the natural water images and the concept of Spring as kinder than winter, a sense of warmth and growth. I thought the last stanza brought the poem to a nice conclusion with the idea of a "sprint into summer" . Over all you get a sense of spring, of promise of the spirit laughing and tradition blended together. I liked this poem a lot. I think your artistic strenth is with your imagery that is unexpected and sets your poems a part with a very fine eye for detail. Another poem that was a pleasure to read.
