    Well, you never know 'til the contest is over.

    Well... it is over and there were 5 more popular entries than mine. There are a lot of good writers on this site and it is always really interesting to see what is appealing to voters. I find i often vote for the eventual winner, but also sometimes my choice is far down the voting list. Poetry is so very personal.

This 5-7-5, Passing Shower, has the right set up and inspects the effects which are a haze of pastels which veil the moisture laden greens all around ...

This piece helps give me the vision of a light rain on a warm summer day. You describe it as a if someone took the time to paint the piece of world in front of them capturing a moment in time.

A beautiful illustration to go with your touching reminder of a time just after the rains.

Enjoyed the read.

Best of luck with the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest.

This is extremely an extremely delicate poem. Almost a proper Haiku rather than a simple 5-7-5. I hope it will do well in the contest. Thank you for submitting it.

Hello, anonymous,

A wonderful poem entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines...which improves flow. The presentation is beautiful.

The topic is relatable.... about nature.

Good luck in the contest. You are my favorite so far.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about that quick shower of rain that washes of the dust from the flowers and the leaves and leaving everything fresh when the sun re appears.

You created a unique vision here of the rain as it blend into the scene and quenches our gardens with a light mist brushed with the finesse of an artist, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Your poem reminds me of a painting. "Garden backdrop blends its hues, lightly brushed in mist" gives the reader a clear vision of the garden and creates a picture of nature.

Meets the 5-7-5 stipulations and restrictions. I found the imagery very interesting, "rinsed by rainfall's kiss" Your choice of picture also blends with the theme of the poem. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Wishing you luck in the contest.
