I have tried to make a 5-7-5 too, but my burning addiction to rhyme schemes bled through. I liked the picturesque value to wind fondles flora. Its soft and sweet sounding and you can just picture the cool air running over the plants in the forest. Beautiful imagery, I would say use a picture and give four stars, but you don't have to because of how efficient you were with painting the picture with words. (It would still complement the poem even further) This poem in all intents and purposes is a haiku, because it does not include a photo, or rhyme scheme, (I know about the rhyme scheme because someone though I was writing a haiku and not a 5-7-5.

That's lovely. The words paint a picture. I can almost smell the flora on the breeze on a moonlit summer night. Good luck in the contest.

I think your 5-7-5 writing prompt entry works well without a picture accompanying it, as your words offer vivid imagery. Love the first line especially. Best wishes in the contest.
Thanks for sharing this with me.

This is really very lovely! Good luck to you in the contest. The overall effect of the poem left me imagining palm trees and ferns ... calming, romantic. Excellent use of assonance, alliterating the ell sounds, shushing us with the ess sounds.

You were sure able to meet the limited requirements of this format perfectly. Great descriptions too given the limits of the format. Very well done.

This is lovely. I liked your use of words. It's short but very comforting. It makes me want to sleep under a tree. All the best in the contest.

A sexy poem and a lullaby all in 17 syllables! Well done. A pleasant and rather tongue in cheek little verse and a pleasure to read.
