This is an excellent poem for a two-four-two poetry contest. The color scheme goes very well with the words. I can feel the dampness. I can smell the vegetation. If I am quiet enough, I can hear the dripping. It has touched my senses. Well done.

A very well-written 2-4-2 poem about the fresh dew drop hanging on the leave ready to fall at any moment when dawn arrives to announce the new day.

You have certainly succeeded in meeting this challenge! Some of the short ones I have read make no sense. Your piece manages to paint a lovely lyrical picture in three lines. Well done!

I love that challenge also, and have not written any lately. This one is beautiful, so simple and creative. It is an accurate description of beautiful nature, with the image, font, and colors all creating a lovely presentation. Good luck in the contest.

The picture you chose goes perfectly with your poem. Or is it the other way around? The poem you wrote goes perfectly with the picture you chose? Either way, it all hangs together beautifully.

This is an intriguing entry for the 2-4-2 syllable poem contest. It reminds me of a true haiku, capturing and painting an image of nature, like a snapshot in a few syllables, though here, you have even less. You perfectly captured that split second in nature and made me say, ahhhh... good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much for the review and for noticing it's a haiku.

As you say, it is an art to do this, and one that you have done to perfection, with an illustration that looks as if it were made for the text.

The only thing I find negative is that you could have put your title/subtitle to better use, to add information, rather than merely repeating information that is elswhere e.g. use "dawn in nature"
