I like your 5-7-5 poem. It is well received. This type of poem brings out the best in our creativity. Because it makes us go deep into thought to manifest our cleverness. This is what you have brought forth in your last line. Best wishes!

Thanks so much for reading and responding so positively to this 5-7-5!! I do have sago palms that come from my mama's yard and her parent plant. I can't look at them without thinking of mama.

This nature 5-7-5 seems to be biographical, but I'm not sure. I do like your poem, though. A very nice wedding present from mama. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

It is biographical. I have many sago palms in my yard that come from my mama's yard and her parent plant. I do think of my sweet mama when I look at them. Thanks for responding.

I think that's wonderful. I lived in California and loved the palms there. Marilyn

This is a good 5-7-5 poem. It tells a story in a few short words.
Well done. The palms in the picture are beautiful, are they the actual ones your Mama planted?
Well done.
Good luck in the competition.

Could not find a picture of mama's sago palms which are the ones I have in my yard. But they do come from her parent plant--and I think of her when I look at them.

This speaks mama's love for family and vision for happy living, as she had planted the palm trees in the front yard of their house and the green is ever comforting to all; I liked.
