Comment from mermaids
I like your words "Firework flowers". It gives a strong feel to your poem and the image of the flowers. Excellent haiku form that creates a scene of nature that appeals to the senses.

Thank you mermaids for your lovely review
I think this may be a true haiku
Comment from Jesse James Doty
You did a good job of making the flowers look like fireworks. It is a very nice and colorful painting. I like your 5-7-5 poem. It describes with delicate words the beauty of the flowers. The ending seems like it could be a Haiku. It is the summary of what has gone before, "of fireworks flowers," is a lovely simile, and a lovely title. Thanks for sharing your artistic ways.
Take care, Jesse

Hi Jesse. It is probably a haiku, but for my purpose, it does not matter. Thank you for your wonderful review

Hi Pam
It was meant as a compliment. Haiku is more difficult to do.
I heard that you have to wear a mask before going outside because of the fires. That is terrible and I feel for you. I hope the air quality where you live gets better soon.

Me too Jesse. I have a mask. I took your review as complimentary

Comment from Michele Harber
You did a good job of making them look like fireworks, and "fireworks flowers" is a good, descriptive poetic metaphor. Beyond that, you did a good job of describing the painting literally ("golden centers," "thin petals").

Wow! Now this is what I want to do. It is beautiful, Pam. what did you do first? and how did you get the petals so clearly (well defined) on ll of these flowers. Did you use a pencil brush?
I think this is one of your best, my friend. Bob

Hi Bob
I will tell you. I will also give you permission to copy my painting. You know that you need permission to copy someone?s photo or painting or any part thereof. Ok so, I painted the golden centers first. Just spread and space as you wish but not closer together than your petals will be on the flowers next to it. Below, above and sideways. You don?t want the petals of one flower to cover the center of another. I used cadmium yellow and gold
And white paints. Then I painted around those centers with the sap green with slight variations by adding white or yellow to the green. Cover the entire canvas. In my case I have to let it dry for a couple of days for the next step. You should find out how much time you need for it to mostly dry. And, then, yes, I used a very thin brush for the flower petals. And make pastels for the petals because bold colors will overshadow the centers. Good luck. I know it will not look exactly like mine and that is good
We each are unique. You want your own stamp on your painting. This evokes
Feel good emotions. Do you see? I try to always evoke some kind of emotion.

You are so sweet, Pam. Thanks a bunch. btw. Did you do this from a picture or photo? Just curious of course. Bob

Neither. I just made my own composition
Comment from Gloria ....
I think they look very much like exploding fireworks. The lovely undertones a spray of gentle pastels.
Another fine beauty and many thanks for sharing. :)

Comment from June Sargent
They actually do look like fireworks! Like miniature asters. The pastel colors are very soothing and peaceful. Maybe they're quiet fireworks...I liked them either way.

Your flowered canvas does resemble fireworks exploding, Pam. Nicely composed short piece, illustrated by your art. I like your habit of covering the entire canvas with your whimsical art. Marilyn

Comment from harmony13
Excellent Poem! The author's words were convincing, creative and
descriptive. The reader found the artwork just beautiful and it enriched
the theme of this poem. The first two lines flow and connect well. The
last line put the poem all together.
