Very beautiful Hibiscus painted garden with such descriptive words. Writer check the spelling on your last stanza. Each color you gave such etiquette description. I love this piece and it's syllables and rhythm met the requirements. and each stanza edified the title. Great job.

I thoroughly enjoyed your "Hibiscus Suite" partly because the flower is so startlingly beautiful and yet we have none in our neighborhood. (I think line two of your third stanza has only 6 syllables.) Thanks to your including such a variety in your 5-7-5's, I am no longer deprived! Cheers- Joa

A very well-written 5-7-5 suite about the hibiscus and what each color speciality meaning to humans. The red hibiscus tea is a tasty blend for us to enjoy at any time.

I really appreciated your notes. I did not know this flower had so many colors. Your poem flows beautifully. Your picture, is of course, perfect for your words. It is a "sunny" poem and welcome since many I have read today are not.

This 5-7-5 suite is absolutely delightful--and informative. You have made excellent use of vivid, specific details to describe the various "personalties" of these lovely flowers.

This is a great 575 suite, Alicia. I enjoyed reading it. I like that you gave each color its own verse and explained it, too. Your art choice pairs perfectly with your words. Each verse could be a stand alone. But together they make a great poem.

I believe this line:
Mined and mixed with rosehips; has only 6 syllables, not seven

Thanks for sharing and for the great notes.
Respectfully, Jan

You've composed a nice suite of hibiscus verses Alicia, fancy that. A lovely piece my friend, are you saying your favourite tea is made from the hibiscus Bush? Beautifully written Alicia, blessings Roy,
