Comment from Gungalo

Excellent

The flowers come to congregate
and strike their brightest pose,
as they show off the finery
of brand new Easter clothes.

Beautiful Brooke and all colors he will never forget. Your 8/6/8/6 quatrains show so well you command of the language.

This shows the bright colors of a paradise garden delight lighting our senses within the minty green, and rose of the periwinkle sky. Well done, Brooke.

The colors add the the beauty of the images in the poem. Sawyer's new words inspired a wonderful poem full of hope like Spring and Easter.

The artwork fits perfectly.


Keep writing.

Poetry should be fun and this poem is all about fun and how you used the Crayola colors and tied it into the excitement, newness, and color of spring. It flowed so nicely, a really enjoyable poem

Nice piece of poetry beautifully depicting its colorful theme.
Simple as well as impressive wording.
Smooth and pleasant flow.
Lovely rhyming scheme with lively imagery.

Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with green/preen. Good alliteration with grass/green/growing...rambler/rose...grows/green...prettify/preen...come/congregate. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

Brooke, very well done. I really do like the use
of the periwinkle sky and magenta color. Good use
of alliteration in rambler rose and prettify and
preen. I love Spring.
