These sort of impromptu acts can give both the receiver and the giver a well earned boost in life and flowers always touch our hearts, these innocent blooms please us, I enjoyed your gift of words to us here, love Dolly x

Dear Author, this is the first time I have had a chance to review this particular poetic discipline. You have done a masterful job of filling the requirements and at the same time utilized such a wonderful theme.

The point of your poem is admirable, but its wording actually doesn't express it. (You might consider a change like, 'Gifts you give that you'd appreciate receiving,' etc., etc.
I hope this helps.

    Thanks for your thoughtful review as this has a specific syllable count it is not easy to work with your words though.

    You're welcome, but my suggestion was meant as an example for a needed new approach. Keep trying, Laura.

    Well, I tried to help. Fortunately, you won't find out the result of your decision, because there won't be any voters, and the committee judges won't comment, either.

    I have had excellent reviews and comments and I choose poetic licence and I know you mean well. I like it I would change it if I didn't.

This is a great entry. And I have truly learned that when you give, it comes back to you, sometimes tenfold. When I do not have fresh flowers on my table, I yearn for them.
And flowers aside, this poem is about giving. Beautiful.

I think that this poem has a very good chance of winning the contest! Excellent work! No grammatical errors. I have heard of Serendipity. Nice. Good luck in the contest!

Your ultra-concise (as required by the prompt) poem conveys a powerful message about the blessing of GIVING, which often makes us feel better deep down than receiving does.

Surprise gifts are always the BEST kind, bar none!! ;) :) This is a lovely offering the contest, Laura, especially since it was inspired and not just 'written'... ;) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;) Yvette

As you know how it feels to receive flowers from someone, wonderful, right? That's why it is so good to send someone flowers. You have got it quite right and that plant in your picture is beautiful.

A very well-written four line poem about the gift of giving always returns to the one who are willing to give and make another happy and brighten their lives with flowers.

This meets the contest requirements beautifully as you deliver a structurally sound Four Line Poem. The content is timely and the message so important as it is often the simplest things given in love which are truly the mot treasured gifts. Good luck in the judging ad thank you very much for sharing it.
