Ciao Marco!

Congratulations on your blue ribbon win. I didn't even get to vote .. I literally missed the boat.. thought there was more time.

Woke up and the voting was done.

That is a lovely flower .. the heart looks like the sun and the blue petals the sky. The circular shape is awesome.

Thanks for the info in notes section.

Keep safe!

this flower is so pretty. It is a delightful flower to see blossom even though they do not last long. Many mailboxes are adorned with this flower.

Yes they are very beautiful, especially when massed together and it is a pity their flowering is so short. A beautiful 5-7-9, so sending good wishes for your entry.

You have made excellent use of your syllables in this lovely piece. It conveys a moving, expressive message through personification of the lovely bloom, which really shows off because it "knows" it won't live long!

Morning glories are my favorite flower. My uncle grew them in window boxes and they would crawl up the bars on his fire escape in New York. Your poem brought me back to a happier time. For that I thank you.

I enjoyed how your poem speaks of transience and a brief life, yet it is a life cheerfully lived.
It is a very attractive presentation, with attention given to centring your words beneath the circular shape of the flower. Thanks also for the botanical notes.
