Thanks for your review, Janice. It's an early spring here and the magnolias are lovely.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the pink blossoms that shows off against the blue sky is a beautiful sight and we know winter has to go now, Spring will soon take her place.

I am not a poet, though I have dabbled in a haiku on occasion. However, anyone who can put winking pinkly and bud-burst beauty deserves recognition. Nicely done and good luck in the contest.

Thanks for embracing my poem and for your good wishes.

Comment from Mia Twysted

Good

You have met the requirements 5-7-5. I see that you are talking about the tree and I like the image of the buds against the sky. However, I didn't feel any strong emotions or messege.

Thanks for your review. No worries... I couldn't make the sap of spring rise for you.

Nicely done - beautiful photo as well. I like "bud-burst beauty" "flushed faces winking." Nice poem to celebrate the lovely tree blooms. It's like that in spring when beauty arrives like that.

Thanks for your review. We are into an early spring down here because our winter was so mild. The blossoms and blooms are confused.

A 5-7-5 laden with alliteration and including an example of internal rhyme in the second line. These are powerful poetic techniques but more effective, I think, when used sparingly. It's possible for the form to dominate the message.
