Hello, thank you for participating in the haiku club event. I love the haiku. Great entry with a good syllable count and connection between lines but needs a few changes. Beautiful presentation and imagery. You didn't show the difference between both forms.

Feedback and recommendations:

(add the titles the words "HAIKU" )

HAIKU

bluebells vivid hue
illumines forest floor-
wildflower display

(add the title: 5/7/5 POEM)

5/7/5 POEM

Rays of spring sunshine
illumine tapestry of
new woodland bluebells

Your 5/7/5 is a haiku, I would change it to make the difference clear

5/7/5 POEM

going for a walk
to the store, I found money
and bought an icecream

just an example, in the 5/7/5 you don't use nature or season so it's not a haiku. I know I said 5/7/5 poems can be haikuISH but for this event, you want to show the difference between both forms.

I commend you for experimenting with various ways of describing this scene. Neither version works for me because you depend so heavily on the verb ILLUMINE which sticks out like a sore thumb. May I suggest BRIGHTENS?

Both are wonderful, Zanya! I love both of these forms, whereas the 5-7-5 is more versatile in its theme. Beautifully penned and illustrated in short verse poetry. Sending you my best today as always and my very best for the challenge.
