An excellent entry for the Ode 5-7-5 writing prompt. I love having fresh cut flowers around the house most of the summer but once Fall arrives I love having pumpkins, small squash and tiny gourds setting inside and out. Nature is a beautiful accent year round. Thanks for sharing.

I like this! There was a hidden part (sad or gloom), but it's taken away by the flowers. You had a very creative approach and the syllable count was correct. It was an enjoyable read.

You did just fine. A lovely 5-7-5 which probably is understood and appreciated by a lot of fed up people, today. Flowers and beautiful music, for me, and birds.
Fan Story has a lot of friendly members, as you are probably finding out, from all over everywhere. Have fun!

Hi Samantha,
It it good to have nature as a coping mechanism. So much beauty and serenity can be found there. From your picture I would say animals are another of your coping mechanisms.
Congrats on placing second in the prompt.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Joan

Why on earth did someone give you a 4 star rating? This is the best of the bunch and got my vote
Flowers are indeed a contrast to a world in upheaval. Nice use of the 5-7-5 form.
Best wishes!

This seems like a good candidate for the contest. I love the fact that flowers are your coping mechanism. They are my mom's as well. Good job and good luck. Have a blessed day

flowers are meaningful to you.

I like your ode to summer flowers. Indeed, they will help anyone who is having a bad day cope better. As for your form, you need to revise lines 1 & 2 which have too many syllables and add a syllable to line 3.
