This 5-7-5, Summer Sunflowers, has the proper formatting and helps the readers see the positive communications that exist between the towering flowers and the poet.

This is a colorful and cheerful seasonal haiku entry. The text is a great size. The message is clearly stated. Good use of personification for the sunflowers. The overall presentation is great. Good luck in the contest.

Sunflowers are really cheerful and I love they way they always face the sun, then close up at night. You poem captures the feeling very nicely. Good luck in the contest. Happy New Year.

I found the words of this poem and the artwork so uplifting! The first
two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line says it all!
I pondered on Nature and how the beauty of nature brings about this
flower! The artwork is awesome! Have a great New Years!....Maria

Sunflowers definitely epitomize Summer. I love how they thrust their faces toward the sun. Indeed they appear to smile.
You personify them very well "nodding their heads."
