I really enjoyed reading this poem. I think the personification works well, and I like the specific imagery: "Spring lingered in the magnolia-fluttered grass until summer stormed in with windswept hair and wild eyes."
That's probably my vote for strongest line in the poem. Or maybe "Dried magnolia petals crumble in my notebooks."
I think "Even my bones cry." is bordering on a cliche, but maybe not. It's hard to say something new about the seasons, but this was a nice poem. The concrete, simple imagery makes it more likable than many poems, in my opinion.
