Excellent 5/7/5 for the 5/7/5 spring contest entry. I like the theme of flowers and your syllable count is perfect. I wish you the best in the contest.

I like how you handled your third line. I am learning more about the magic of the third line here on FS. The poem is refreshing and beautiful. Tony Bronk Wisconsin

I also pronounce it, (mag-nol-ya). These flowering trees are so fragrant, they deserve a poem. Your poem brings the olfactory experience to the reader with a minimum use of words.

Ah, Magnolia. What a beautiful plant, what delicious flowers. This excellent haiku really reminds and links to memory of scent and beauty. The satori line gives connection to memory and place. A delightful addition to the imagery in line 1 and two. Excellent entry. Very well conceived and structured.

Magnolias are so lovely, but it's a shame they don't last longer. My mother-in-law had a beautiful magnolia tree, but the blossoms were always gone too soon. They are so fragrant they fill the spring air. If you're away from home, there's nothing better to remind you of it than the scent of the lovely flowers. Best of luck in the contest. judi
