This is beautiful! In so few words and syllables, it is easy to
imagine a blossom drifting slowly down in the morning breeze.
Welcome to FanStory, my friend. You are off to a great start with
this wonderful little 5-7-5. Connie

I enjoyed reading your poem very much. It is cleverly written and very well thought out. I can almost see the blossom floating around on the breeze.

Oh the blossom has been dancing in the morning breeze but now it is gracefully descending. Your poem has good form of 5-7-5 syllables.

This is a lovely poem. The image of the falling blossoms is the prevailing harbinger of Spring. Well done! Your words paint a picture in three short lines.

Your syllable count is perfect for the requirement of the contest, 5-7-5. There is coherency in the flow of thoughts to arrive at the desired message. Well done.

With all due respects your poem can be distinguished by its lack of originality.When you launch into a poem, the strongest ammunition in your arsenal is visual imagery. So surprise us. "A floating blossom" alright we're waiting. Suddenly, midstream it gathers up spirit and energy and it is dancing, with a set purpose no doubt. Yes it descends downwards. Rather let it spiral upwards. Leave us wondering.
- EKim. The element of surprise and the uncanny is the second weapon in your arsenal.

This is a great representation of what a 5/7/5 should be. I love the whole image I get from reading this too. It's a soft haiku that gracefully descends.

I believe that this is a wonderful haiku that describes perfectly the falling of a blossom as well as the format of the haiku and how they should be written. Good luck this one is good. xoxo Kiwi
