Very beautiful!

I find your poem very visual. Your syllable count is perfect.

A picture would of enhanced the look of the poem but your words are still amazing. Good luck in the contest.

This is a lovely vision to gift the reader with on an early September morning. It's a lyrical study of the movement of an earthbound blossom. I enjoyed reading it very much.

A floating blossom,
Dancing in the morning breeze,
Gracefully descends.

A nice 5-7-5, with perfect syllable count and presenting a nice picture for your readers.

This is lovely and an excellent contest entry. I can easily envision the petal slowly drifting down, tossed by the wind. It has a gentle, serene feel to it. Good luck.

This is a very nice 5-7-5 poem.
Great imagery with the floating/descending blossom dancing gracefully in the breeze.
Great satori line, summing up the first two lines.
The only improvemnet I would recommend would be to select a picture to go with it.

The way you describe it, I can see the blossom in my mind's eye. So you are right not to complement this haiku with an artwork. They're graceful, both the flower and the poem...:)

A floating blossom,
Dancing in the morning breeze,
Gracefully descends.

Beautifully done with so few words. I'm watching that blossom flying in the wind. Great poem.
