*this is a totally new style for me, so let me know what you think!

Spring sprung so unexpected
From melting snow
I stood in awe
Observed perfection of its flow
So flawlessly performed
Played by the notes
Deformed in form
So worthy of great words
And yet neglected
My soul alone became affected
Pecked by the rain
In gained commotion
And grain by grain
I drained emotion
From weeping lashes
In fitting fashion,
Gentle motion,
In passing rage
And raging passion
Unto the page

Master....I'm not sure what happened on this one, you seem to be changing from non rhyming to rhyming with internal rhyme placed in parts.
Spring sprung so unexpected
From melting snow
I stood in awe
(very nice lines and I like the meter to that, but then the flow changes drastically in the next few lines)
Played by the notes
Deformed in form
(I'm not sure where this is going...deformed in form?)
In passing rage
And raging passion
Unto the page
(okay, if I get this right, you are so overcome by the coming of spring that you pour out your thoughts onto the page....although I like the tickle of "In passing rage and raging passion" on my tongue, I wonder where the rage fits into it?)

The whole style of this poem is that the flow develops as you read it, or at least that's what I was going for. Thanks for responding.
