I did immerse myself in your examples of using your five senses!

Love your aabb rhyme...and the different color fonts-- adds to the ambiance.

It f I had that "sixth sense"-- I'd predict this will do well, anonymous!

This makes me happy reading this poem.
I notice the change in font color and it seems to fade a little more in the middle of the piece and then come back with more vivid colors!
Perhaps you might change the lighter-colored fonts to brighter colors? Just a thought.
I love the examples of your sensory inputs from different stimuli including snuggling with a pet or child and hearing a Dear, I love you, darling.
This is very nicely done,
Have a wonderful day,
Jesse

Clever idea using the five senses. Keep working on your meter. Some people think a poem is written in a short period of time. This is usually not the case. This is why some poems struggle with meter.

Well, I really like your light-hearted, up-lifting poem. You used imagery that certainly evoked the senses and your rhyme is good, too. Your rhythm may be off a little, but who cares? All in all, it works and it fits the requirements. Good luck in the contest.

A very touching poem and it shows a lot of gratitude for the 'simpler' things in life. I really liked the imagery in the first stanza and the birds singing their happiness without any words was a great way to phrase things.

I love your five senses of happiness and the lovely and perfectly presented description of all things that make you happy. Superb presentation.

A very joyous poem that out me in a good mood.

The interesting thing is that I was the one who originally created this writing prompt on FS years ago, and they are still doing it.

Thank you sharing. My only regret is, I don't have a six

    And I see, my poem "I welcome life" is still being used as an example.

    You did a fantastic job with the prompt. It is a winner in my eyes. Well done!

    Yours is a lovely poem for a prompt. It would be nice if mine is a winner but I find it hard to predict what voters will like. I really appreciate your support and your confidence in my work. That alone makes me feel happy!
