RodG,

Congrats on your win in the Nature Haiku. Your exceptional poem is a brilliant tribute to Spring. You've capture the beauty, magic and wonder of butterflies and their invaluable gift to life's garden of precious sustaining nutritional nourishing varieties of food as referenced in your title A Garden with Wings. Well done.

All the best,

Eugene

There is a good feeling in your words. Your poem brings forth a feel of fantasy. "Saucy sprites hail spring" is a perfect line that makes the garden a place of wonder and takes the reader to another place. Congrats on winning the contest.

I love envisioning this! Your few words let us dance on airborne breezes. The feel is totally spring and a delightful feel of how spring released the doldrums of winter! I enjoyed your haiku. Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi2

Butterflies are a good sign of Spring. They are beautiful and graceful and add a lot of color to a garden.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great rest of the week.

This is a sweet 5-7-5 capturing the essence of spring in your visual, complemented by those very expressive and alliterative sentiments. I particularly like the last line with your image of saucy sprites which conjures up a seasonal awakening. Well done and good luck! Debbie
