Nice poem, I enjoyed it. It's playful and fun to read and flows well too. I particularly like the use of the word exuberance. Thanks for sharing this poem

    Thanks for your review - I like to use words that aren't so common.

This is a rather frivolous poem and an excellent contest entry. The idea of frilly knickers made me smile. The words create a striking image which is well complemented by the picture.

    The rhododendrons are blooming here at the moment, so the 'frilly knickers' come in different colours.

The innocent of blooms showing all they've got without hiding a thing here. I liked your metaphor for showing all here, it is fun and endearing, love Dolly x

Does chanca works for me especially when it has to do with flowers I love to look at them arrange them and take pictures of them and I'm a male!

It read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues as well.
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly and good luck with this.

This is a cute little poem. The format tanka is very suitable for your theme.When we were young we used to say bloomers and the usage here has an extra stress on the imagery
