This is a great 5-7-5. Nice alliteration. Fun and entertaining read. Wonderful image goes perfectly with your words. Love 'Corky Cooters' and 'turtle tots'. Great work! :)

I like this one. It's a lovely picture and a perfectly written 5-7-5. Great alliteration in the first line and again in the second. It's a gentle appealing piece. Well done.

Comment from AnonymousWisdom
Perfect 5-7-5 syllable count.
I liked the simile of buoyant cork and the image it created.
Good alliteration in the first line.
Even though this was a good poem, it wasn't humorous, which sadly was one of the contest guidelines. :(
Still, I enjoyed it and I wish you the best in the contest :)

Hi AnonymousWisdom, Thank you so much for your obliging comments and positive rating. I've been using pre-existing verse during an intermittent absence, stopping in occasionally to submit where applicable and hopefully will be returning soon. I agree with you. This entry is focused more on word play and fun alliteration, having a cutesy effect but is not a humorous play on words. Nevertheless, I don't regret the decision and am delighted that you enjoyed the read. Happy Holidays
Comment from MarjorieAnne
This sweet poem describes the photo cleverly with pleasing alliteration and assonance. I would add an S to cork and hyphenate life-preserving. Also capitalize tiny and life. A bit of humor or a stronger pun would help since bob, buoyant and cork are close in meaning, as are tiny and tots.

Hi MarjorieAnne, Thank you so very much for your cordial comments and positive rating. There is no capitalization in nature haiku. I beg to differ regarding closely related word choices. The definitions are dissimilar, while each word helps to create a more detailed visual. Happy Holidays
