Nicely done. I like the images very much, especially the wine image. I thought the last stanza, although good, did not have the impact of the first two. The images got a little general purpose.
I've got to try writing one of these.

thank you for your thoughtful review, Brooke
Comment from mslyla216
I believe you have reposted this, Brooke, since it is your first minute poem, and there have been others lately. Does this mean this is a repost, or does Fanstory look back through earlier postings and run them again? As always, this is a lovely poem. Your first minute poem is colorful and carefree as it lauds the beautiful honeysuckle and your use of the gorgeous picture deserves praise. Lyla

I have not reposted any poems - this one expires tomorrow morning at 10:30, Lyla. I wrote the others right on the heels of this one. Thanks, Brooke

As always I'm your humble reader with nothing but praise. I love the flowery poems. LOL. No I guess that I just love your poems. Another to add to the list of greats. Well done.

Comment from raimie
Beautiful! Honeysuckle grew all over my great grandmothers property. The red honeysuckle that is. I always loved it and the smell is so divine. When we bought our house, I told my husband maybe I should figure out if we can plant it. We moved into the house in November. When spring rolled around I was presently surprised to see on tiny bush in front of my house. You are so right about it being sweet ambrosia, for the only time I see butterflies is on that bush.

Deb, thank you - trees? I had no idea. glad you enjoyed, Brooke

yeah, trees! Their honeysuckle blossoms look just like the ones on the vine except maybe a bit more delicate. They're beautiful. I'll try & get a picture of one this spring.
Comment from Gramma Kathy
This is a breath of sweet, springtime air. The photo is perfect, and your poem is like a dance through a garden.
I like the green font on yellow background. It's so summery!
Lovely. It makes me even more anxious for flower to poke up from the ground.

rama devi, every time I see your name I smile - that stinks that you have limited internet access, but I am glad to know you are doing what you need to heal. I'm so glad you enjoyed this uplifting poem. Thanks so much for stopping by, Brooke

Beautifully written minute, with a summery feel and cheerful, colorful presentation and picture. Perfect execution of the form requirements. As a child, we had lots of honeysuckles in our neighborhood and I loved to get those fresh drops of honey on my tongue...yummm..savory, nature's food at its best. I wasn't aware hummingbirds and butterflies also got free sips. I thought they were just for us...lol.
Enjoyed your minute. Excellent contest entry. Wishing you the best of luck...;0)

I used to grab some Honeysuckle and suck out its sweet gift from a lane on the way to school. This is a beautiful poem with a feel which makes me smile.
