The personification of the creature is well acheived and its voice was consistent throughout the story.
I even wondered about "to the side" but it does emphasise the action for clarity.
This is a really charming story and I enjoyed entering your vision! Thanks for sharing your gift.
I am happy to review to celebrate you as part of your winning bid in our Power Auction. Thanks for your generosity! 
My review has been submitted for consideration in "
The Baha part is too funny and I could not quite get the song but the mimicry of zombies is well done!
Happy Earth Day wolfbane! 
Your verses are balanced with consistent rhyme and rhythm. It was delightful to read aloud with its effective soundscape as well. Your use of poetic magics like assonance, consonance and personification is effective. The last verse is so evocative and the query at the end invites us to wake up and ponder. 
I was a bit confused at the end as the third line I think refers to the tree and yet it seems like you are asking the tree if it can hear. I wonder if making the words "sentinel" and "giant" plural with the comma having it agree or refer to Trees that are screaming, might clarify this.
I so enjoyed your lines like "wisdom....gloaming" and the metaphor "Destruction....steed" is brilliant. I was drawn to read it several time to sink into the vision. Well done!
Thanks for entering this lively expression into the Earth Day challenge! You really hit the nail on the head in your last line with potency indeed! 
The Quatrain form is composed well with wonderful rhyme and steady flow that was a pleasure to read aloud. You did not indicate if you which syllable count you were using but I notice inconsistency in this area. You begin with an 8 count in verse 1 and shorter counts in the middle as if to speed the pace---weather, panic, and then back to an 8 count in the last two verses (but for the emphatic last line.) Perhaps within verses consistency would be better. 
Putting yourself into the poem brings me into your pondering. I liked the link to romantic thoughts as well. Young love indeed is iconic for spring. 
The acrostic form is well composed using SPRINGTIME and the key words did not seem forced and the lines were coherent within themselves. Good job! 
You share some well known facts about how we are not being good stewards in the first verses followed by a plea that we must do better for our future. The voice was authentic and inspiring in its rationale. The idea of "hallucination" in line 3 is brilliant.
I enjoyed reading this very descriptive expression where each verse reveals the spring season and elements of its growth. Each verse is clear and follow a 5-7-5 pattern except for the last couplet, which I take is part of the Haiku sonnet form. I do not know much about that form. 
The poem is vivid with lots of images. I thought in Haiku each verse was to focus on one specific and vivid image and a contrasting one--two at the most and provide an Aha moment. The first verse centers on spring (though you give 3 nouns) and contrast with the frost so it does have a contrast image. Also, I think adverbs are not often in haiku. eg."secretly"--what would that look like in vivid language. In the third verse "all radiates life" is very general and does not give me a specific image to focus on.
I can see why the punctuation is needed in how you write this, though again haiku uses little of it usually. I have read that in English we actually use more words that the japanese original in order to get the syllables right. I suppose that is why it is controversial now in how to create one. 
In researching Haiku sonnet I see it is experimental and I think you have linked each verse adequately. The atmosphere created mimics the emotion of a sonnet and the 3 line descriptives fit the form. The overall feel and effect of your vision is solid and I could enter into the vision with ease. I appreciate the effort it took to create this with coherence. I have enough problem with regular sonnets! 
Well done.
This is a beautifully aesthetically pleasing forum and sets the vibe for princesses and fairy tale magic with its pink font and gorgeous pictures! Yo do lovely displays. 
In your last paragraph I did not get what you meant by "Use form" as you already directed us to the forum. 
Thanks for creating yet another magical contribution.
I so enjoyed reading this soft toned poem appreciative of the green grass of your home. It is so cool to create a painting of a specific picture in your mind.
The personification of the elements is well done and the "prancing of the children" mimics the joy that emanates from your vision. I love walking barefoot in grass! 
You have captured the essence of the cycle of sun and rain and how the people call for the rain. It is a vivid and I like the personal "we" voice as it relfects the belief that we are all in it together. The last verse reveals this even deeper--that we are one with all nature as well. 
Punctuation was purproseful and added to the reading. I did wonder at the period in the first line as the rest of your similar lines have semi colons. Is it for a stronger effect?
Wow! this is a stellar collection of quiz questions! 
I am amazed. You know alot about Potter and I bet had many players stumped with your challenges. Some of these questions really test one's knowledge. It was a trip down memory lane reading the various sections. 
These would be awesome questions as part of a novel study for kids too! 
I am glad to see answers in fine print as I can see where I totally was off the mark or had no knowledge--and now I have more knowledge. 
Oh my goodness! I did this fabulous poll awhile back and what?? never reviewed it? Impossible to imagine unless the result page has its own review spot! 
Even over Draco!
