Ooo, I can tell you are ready for this much-needed break. What a clever depiction of your tiredness and lack of bounce, or as you say spring.

I’m sure with some sleeping in and puttering around in my pjs in the mornings, I can enjoy it, but boy I sure did have to earn it. Whew!

I felt that deeply.
My search for words has been hard.
I’m in need of rest.
As always, Alice…even when your writing is weary, it is simply beautiful! You are a talented artist, ma’am.

I really love this play on words! I love how the beginning and end connect the poem together, and I just love the line, “but my spring broke”. I feel this deep in my bones, but your word choice also leaves me with a playful sense. Great poem!

Thank you for reading. Word play is one of my favorite things to do. Some days it’s easier than others.

What “notthewholestory” said! The play on words packs a punch that last far beyond the few short lines of the poem. Enjoy the break!

I love all the word play in your poem. Just reading the title, before I got to the actual poem, I thought “YES”, because I’ve been feeling so exhausted Spring Broke ” perfectly captures how I’m feeling. I love how the poem starts with a play on one word, then shifts to word play on the other part of “spring break “.
